Dear Friends and Colleagues:
All educators of color and educational scholars of color in the United States are invited to sign onto a statement ("This Must End Now: Educators and Scholars of Color Against Failed Educational "Reforms") that calls for an end to billionaire-backed, so-called "reforms" that are devastating schools, particularly for students of color and low-income students.
If you are eligible, please review the statement and consider joining this nationwide collective; and whether or not you are eligible, please help to spread the word to other educators/scholars of color (including academics, K-12 educators and leaders, etc.) to join us as we build and leverage our collective voices in reframing the public narrative, speaking out against failed initiatives, and putting forth a more just vision for our schools and communities.
The deadline to sign is March 31st, and the statement will be released publicly soon after. Here's the statement and the form to sign on:
We are particularly eager to move this forward in the midst of a public health crisis, which is significantly impacting schools, and which we cannot imagine will not lead to more devastating reforms being foisted upon us in the name of managing crisis.
Thank you, and in solidarity,
Kevin Kumashiro
