Today we honor a pivotal moment in our history—Brown v. Board of Education. This landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, stating that "separate but equal" has no place in education.

"What does decency mean to you?" I asked.

We Want to Do More Than Survive Winner of the 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award Drawing on personal stories, research, and historical events, an esteemed educator offers a vision of educational justice inspired by the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists. Drawing on her life’s work of teaching and researching in urban schools, Bettina Love persuasively argues that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements. She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills, acronyms, grit labs, and character education, which Love calls the educational survival complex. To dismantle the educational survival complex and to achieve educational freedom—not merely reform—teachers, parents, and community leaders must approach education with the imagination, determination, boldness, and urgency of an abolitionist. Following in the tradition of activists like Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and Fannie Lou Hamer, We Want to Do More Than Survive introduces an alternative to traditional modes of educational reform and expands our ideas of civic engagement and intersectional justice. https://lnkd.in/g2Rgexee

A good old draft lecture and a good younger shorter presentation.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the importance of accurately representing Native American history and culture in our education systems. According to the Reclaiming Native Truth (RNT) Project by IllumiNative Org, nearly half of Americans feel their education about Native Americans was inaccurate. Additionally, 72% believe significant changes are needed in school curricula to better reflect Native American history and culture. Parents and teachers agree that current educational materials are often misleading. Many educators rank Native American history as one of the least covered and least accurate subjects. It's disheartening that parents feel they must teach their children the "real history" of their people at home due to inadequacies in school teachings. To help change this narrative, we encourage educators to explore lesson plans on IllumiNative's website: https://lnkd.in/g_Pcx5Hy. These resources support educators in providing a more accurate, inclusive understanding of Native American histories and cultures. Let’s educate ourselves and advocate for meaningful changes in our curricula, ensuring that Indigenous voices are heard and celebrated in our schools. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #ReclaimingNativeTruth #EducationEquity #ChangeTheNarrative #IllumiNative #PEDC #DiversityAndInclusion
