“Those of us who work in education must acknowledge that our school systems have been complicit in perpetuating systemic racism. This has included the criminalization and marginalization of Black children by policies and practices ranging from discriminatory discipline to inequitable school funding and staffing to curriculum tracking and school segregation. Our goal in this moment must be to dismantle these discriminatory policies and replace them with approaches that honor the dignity of the lives of Black children as they do of all children.”
