Drawing on extensive research and personal experience, Kendi argues that the education system is a key battleground in the fight for racial justice in America. He shows how racism is embedded in every aspect of education, from curriculum to discipline to testing. And he demonstrates how this racism has created a system that is failing black and brown students.
The consequences of this failure are dire. Black and brown students are more likely to drop out of school, be suspended or expelled, and perform poorly on standardized tests. They are also more likely to be tracked into low-level classes and denied access to advanced coursework. This has a profound impact on their life outcomes, limiting their opportunities for higher education, employment, and economic success.
But Kendi's book is not just a condemnation of the current system. It is also a call to action. He offers a series of concrete proposals for how we can create a more just and equitable education system. These proposals include:
- Ending the use of standardized testing
- Abolishing tracking
- Increasing funding for schools in low-income communities
- Hiring more black and brown teachers
- Creating more culturally relevant curriculum
Kendi's book is a powerful indictment of the American education system and a clarion call for change. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our democracy.
