Although our parents and grandparents have gone through the US education system, I dont think many of us realize that its that particular system thats the root introduction into racism through a child’s eyes. Its the first place where you learn to feel inferior.

Recently visited a h.s that had always been a hood school, Black students and 85-90% Black teachers. The school was rebuilt and still holds a majority of Black students with some Latino students, but now the teaching staff looks 60% white. The 40% Black teachers are a mix of main teachers and subs. I doubt theres some super shortage of Black teachers, it definitely feels like its by design but the most infuriating part is that the public school network is still majority Black and Latino administratively. We’re allowing it.
