(1999). The State of Black America, 1999: The Impact of Color-Consciousness in the United States. The economic state of black America has never been healthier, yet persistent racial gaps leave African American unemployment at levels more typical of recession for whites in the United States. By challenging the predominant use of race, this compilation refocuses attention on the effects of discrimination and on the lost term "institutional racism." In so doing, it helps maintain the defense of affirmative action. These essays reinforce the position that race is not a biological category but a social category, one that becomes a marker for creating or denying access to wealth. The essays are: (1) "The Cancer Gap: Research Needs of African Americans" (Brian D. Smedley); (2) "Family Environment and Intergenerational Well-Being: Some Preliminary Results" (Patrick L. Mason); (3)"The State of Black Europe" (Clarence Lusane); (4) "Color-Blind Redistricting and the Efficacy of Black Representation" (Ronald Walters); (5) "Unfinished… [PDF]

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education The revised edition of "How good is our school?" (HM Inspectorate of Education, 2002) has been widely welcomed in schools and authorities. This document is one of a series of guides which builds on, but does not repeat, the advice on self-evaluation given in "How good is our school?" The introductory publication to the series, "Planning for Improvement," outlines how one can use the outcomes of self-evaluation to plan effectively for improvement.

It builds on and updates some of the advice given within the earlier publication "A Route to Equality and Fairness" (HM Inspectors of Schools, 1999). The guide shows how one can use a cluster of quality indicators from "How good is our school?" that focus on key… [PDF]

(2018). Modify and Adjust: Senior Inquiry as a Transformative Whole-School Program for Race and Social Justice. Journal of General Education, v67 n1-2 p122-135. Senior Inquiry is a dual-credit bridge program partnership between University Studies and regional school districts. The partnerships with Portland Public Schools have prioritized serving first-generation students and other underserved populations. As the program has grown, equity concerns among the collaborative teaching teams prompted experimenting with a whole-school model at Jefferson High School Middle College for Advanced Studies while working within the frame of the course theme of Race and Social Justice. This article documents how the Jefferson Senior Inquiry team attempts to authentically address the accumulated systemic inequities encountered by students in our classrooms. Student-centered pedagogy must be modified and adjusted to meet students where they are. Using the example of a summer assignment and engagement with visionary fiction, we show how we implement the inquiry model with our collaborative and iterative planning…. [Direct]
(2022). Reimagining Education: Restore, Rebuild, Curate, Uplift, and Celebrate. Current Issues in Comparative Education, v24 n2 spec iss p71-87. In this paper, a principal and two lead teachers describe the ways their school community has reimagined the learning environment at their NYC urban, public, K-5 elementary school throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020 they were forced to immediately switch to fully remote learning, a platform they had never previously experienced. Since then, they have engaged in hybrid and now fully in person learning through a worldwide pandemic. The school community, whose focus before the pandemic was on social emotional learning and culturally responsive pedagogy, utilized those practices and the strong relationships between staff, students, and families to persevere. The pandemic disproportionately impacted communities of color, like the one this school community is located in. Other inequalities such as food insecurity, job loss, sickness, financial strain, and death impacted the community. Racial trauma and political unrest that was exacerbated during the pandemic also placed a toll… [PDF]

(1997). Not for School, but for Life: Lessons from the Historical Archaeology of the Phoenix Indian School. Office of Cultural Resource Management Report #95. The Phoenix Indian School, which served as a coeducational federal boarding school for American Indian students between 1891 and 1990, was partially excavated in 1995. Drawing upon written records, books, student recollections, and the school newspaper, this report summarizes what was learned from the excavation about life at the school. The first two chapters describe the founding and workings of the school, the process of historical archaeology, what is known about the city of Phoenix from archaeology, and what is known about the excavation site. The experiences of pupils and employees of the school between 1891 and 1925 were reconstructed in light of the school's goal of replacing students' Indian culture and values with those of the American mainstream. The third chapter,"The Lesson of Conformity," describes the military style discipline used to maintain control in the very large school community. Artifacts of this conformity include a steam whistle (to dictate…
(2004). Politics and Historical Imagination. History of Education Quarterly, v44 n1 p101-104 Spr. This article traces back to the time when virtually no educational research or policymaking takes integration seriously, when the courts regularly declare segregated districts unitary, when the rhetoric of race-blind social justice has been abandoned by the left and appropriated by the opponents of equality. This leads students' and other American's skepticism about school integration. Such doubts both limit students' ability to understand the history of American education and circumscribe their political and social imagination. In this article, the author examines how the "Brown" decision is portrayed in two American history textbooks, one used in middle schools today and the other used thirty years ago. "A More Perfect Union," whose authors include prominent historian Gary Nash, is popular today. In a remarkably inaccurate statement, the book claims that the "Brown" decision "ordered school integration to proceed immediately." The book tells… [Direct]

We look at Monday's unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states do not have the authority to remove Donald Trump from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment with Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern, who calls the decision a "disaster" that appears tailor-made to let Trump avoid accountability for the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He says despite the superficial unanimity of the 9-0 ruling, it was closer to a 5-4 split, with the five conservative justices who wrote the majority opinion raising additional barriers to keeping insurrectionists from public office.

The U.S. Supreme Court was right to keep President Trump's name on the ballot. The high court's decree that the power to remove a federal candidate from the ballot under the Constitution's "insurrectionist ban" rests with Congress, not the states, underscores the fact that in a representative democracy, the citizenry—not the courts, not the corporations, …
Global desire for an immediate stop to the Israeli bombing is now at an all-time high. For the third time, the United States vetoed a UN resolution in the Security Council to compel the Israelis to stop the bombing. That the United States and its European allies continue to back Israel despite the widespread disgust at this war—exemplified by the death of Aaron Bushnell—raises the frustration with the leadership of the Global North.

Ahead of the 96th Academy Awards, we're joined by James Wilson, producer of the Oscar-nominated film The Zone of Interest, who raised Israel's assault on Gaza in his BAFTA Award acceptance speech last month.
