Racial and ethnic equity in American public schools
Looking ahead
Warkentien, S. M., Bowman, K., Greene III, P., Hossain, S., & Olivas, M. (2021). Racial and ethnic equity in American public schools: Looking ahead. In K. Bowman (Ed.), The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Education Law
Five scholars of racial and ethnic equity in public schools bring together insights from various disciplines to speculate about the path of racial and ethnic equity in American public schools over the next decade. They begin by describing the current state of racial and ethnic educational equity across various dimensions and also identifying turning points over the past several decades that led educational equity to where it is today. They then identify potential turning points over the next decade. The chapter thinks broadly about race and ethnicity and about ways in which the law impacts—and could impact—racial and ethnic educational equity.
