A Different Vision: A Revolution Against Racism in Public Education

A Different Vision of Education: A Revolution for Equality in U.S. Schools, offers a vision for radical transformation of the education system, to end the school to prison pipeline and dismantle repressive pedagogy. This text is designed for educators, district leaders, administrators, professors, parents, and community members who are concerned about public education in the United States. It demonstrates the ways in which white supremacy is perpetuated at the institutional and classroom levels, providing an alternative vision for U.S. schools in order to fully achieve the dream of the civil rights era. The book acknowledges the reality that 82% of U.S. educators are white; it challenges all educators to examine the ways in which racism is perpetuated in our own school environments (both by shifting practices among white educators, providing more welcoming and empowering environments for staff of color, and eradicating humiliation from interactions with students). This text invites readers to employ and encourage a new set of strategies, at the administrative, teacher, union, and community levels, to redesign public education with the goal of greater social equality.
