yeah those critiques have merit. american teachers are overwhelmingly white (72%) and serve as foot soldier level cops for the school to prison pipeline. teaching is a notoriously racist profession in the US partly responsible for some of the divergent outcomes between white and nonwhite students. almost no nonwhite kids respect their white teachers.
reforming public education in the US would mean hiring demographically relevant teachers for segregated schools, which would also vastly reduce the amount of white teachers in the country.
In most cases the teachers are hamstrung to teach an inherently liberal and white supremecist curriculum. If the curriculum were not just absolute corporate manifest destiny brainwashing it would not only be easier to fix the demographic representation of teachers, but also change the school to prison pipeline.
there's what teachers are required to do and what teachers choose to do. i am a product of US public schools and I can tell you that there's no mandate anywhere to ban students from researching the tulsa race riots or other racial massacres anywhere in the US. white teachers just don't want to hear about it, which is why it was banned at my school.
lol what makes you think if the guardrails were taken off that whites would not teach a glorified version of their own history? pointing to a white institution tying the hands of white people is fallacious because the institution also serves the people, not just the other way around.
What I'm saying is that forcing teachers to teach a white-focused curriculum leads primarily to only white teachers staying in the profession. Do you think it would be any better to have a bunch of PoC teachers teaching white history, or getting fired for teaching something anticolonial?
That's a nationwide stat, but no way that number is that high in urban schools. In the districts with majority non-white students, the demographics of teachers are much closer to the student population. Administrators on the other hand..
US partly responsible for some of the divergent outcomes between white and nonwhite students.
I'm sure there's no economic or structural factors that contribute to this.
This is wrong too. Chicago Public schools is 90% nonwhite. CPS is exactly 50% white teachers, 50% other. Even in extremely segregated urban districts white teachers predominate.
The white teachers in more diverse areas are more often than not still incredibly racist and leave a lasting impact.
Including when kids see them have much higher positions than the nonwhite teachers, like seniority and administration. Black teachers answering to white teachers with seniority and a white principal.
You are 100% correct. In chicago's fringest northwest and south neighborhoods, the stereotype household is white woman teacher married to white man cop.

Yeah,banning stuff is a different story. I was talking specifically about teaching to the curriculum, which is itself white colonial focused
