Waiting to Be Won Over: Teachers Speak on the Profession, Unions and Reform

In the national conversation on teacher quality, there is considerable debate about what teachers think and what they want. Too often assumptions guide the discussion rather than actual evidence of teachers' views. In a new report, Education Sector and the FDR Group provide that evidence, detailing findings from a national survey of public school teachers

Self-Narratives for Christian Multicultural Educators: A Pathway to Understanding Self and Others

As cultural diversity increases in classrooms, it becomes imperative for teachers to gain multicultural competency so that they can provide effective instruction to diverse students. This paper argues that the development of multicultural competency should be solidly grounded on reflective, empathic, and critical understanding of one’s own culture as well as others. This cultural understanding, particularly from a Christian perspective, recognizes the connectivity of self and others in God. To enhance the cultural understanding, the author recommends studying self-narratives written by others and writing one’s own cultural autobiography. Keywords: cultural autobiography, self-narratives, self-reflection, multicultural teacher education, discourse of others

The roots of black studies

The plight of the "desegregated Negro" serves as a perfect metaphor for the development of Black Studies in the United States. Histories of Black Studies often view its development as emerging from the Black Power Movement with no link to the Civil Rights Movement. Some of the new spaces, called Black Studies, began to challenge the legitimacy of the dominant culture. In the seven-year period from 1968 to 1975, over 500 academic units began offering a Bachelor's degree in Black Studies. The differences between white and black student activists are dramatically illustrated in events at the University of California at Berkeley. In April 1960, the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee was born, significantly changing the modern Civil Rights Movement. When the students fought for Black Studies at colleges and universities across the country their purpose was the same as that of the teachers in the Freedom Schools

The Political Obstruction of Anti-Lynching Policy

United States House of Representative Bobby Rush from Illinois’s District 1 proposed the Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Act (H.R.35 - 116th Congress 2019-2020). This Act would classify lynching as a federal hate crime. This act has been passed through the House of Representatives but was blocked in the Senate by Rand Paul. This is not a new phenomenon. Anti-Lynching legislation has been repeatedly blocked in the United States Senate. As reported by congressional findings, on all three occasions where anti-lynching legislation would be passed the opposing party argued states\u27 rights, threatened to use the filibuster, or used the filibuster. This research explores the political ambitions of Senator Paul in his decision to block the legislation to achieve a higher office. Simply, does the political ambitions of a candidate increase nomination potential and does party loyalty lead to promotions
