Reading Writing and Wokesim is doing serious damage on America’s students in the Biden Administration’s ‘Government Schools’. Naturally, the left is calling this phenomenon Reading Writing and Racism which it’s clearly not. Parents are up in arms over Critical Race Theory (CRT) being forced into their children’s minds. But the teachers union behind today’s leftist woke movement is making it so far impossible to prevent. NO MORE Reading, Writing, and Wokeism!
Reading Writing and Wokeism Disrupting Education in the Classroom! 😡
Bree Picower Ph.D. writes: When a racist curriculum “goes viral” on social media, it is typically dismissed as an isolated incident from a “bad” teacher. Educator Bree Picower, however, holds that a racist curriculum isn’t an anomaly. It’s a systemic problem that reflects how woke Whiteness is embedded and reproduced in education. In Reading, Writing, and Racism, Picower argues that White teachers must reframe their understanding about race in order to advance racial justice and that this must begin in teacher education programs.
Drawing on her experience teaching and developing a program that prepares teachers to focus on social justice and antiracism, Picower demonstrates how teachers’ ideology of race, consciously or unconsciously, shapes how they teach woke race in the classroom. She also examines current examples of racist curricula that have gone viral to demonstrate how whiteness is entrenched in schools and how this reinforces racial hierarchies in the younger generation.
With a focus on institutional strategies, Picower shows how woke racial justice can be built into programs across the teacher education pipeline–from admission to induction. By examining the who, what, why and how of racial justice teacher education, she provides radical possibilities for transforming how teachers think about, and teach about, race in their classrooms.
