"Education plays an important role in shaping how young people come to understand the world around them. However, some argue that certain groups of students are not receiving the full benefit of education because of prejudice against them. This unequal learning experience may be based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or religion-among other characteristics-that bias teachers and the educational system as a whole against these groups. This volume considers the role bias plays in education, how it became ingrained in the educational system, and potential solutions to reduce its impact on students and educators"--Provided by publisher.

The first of these is that our educational system is inequitable by design in that it was created to serve the needs of a privileged few at the expense of historically marginalized children and families.

While policy makers lament the learning losses that occurred we have literally lost children who are still unaccounted for in the wake of the pandemic"--Provided by publisher.

"... exposes a world of confined potential and supports the growing movement to address the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. For four years Monique W. Morris, author of Black Stats, chronicled the experiences of black girls across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged-by teachers, administrators, and the justice system-and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Morris shows how, despite obstacles, stigmas, stereotypes, and despair, black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond.
