The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America | 
pickI read Jonathan Kozol‘s book Amazing Grace for a sociology class I took in undergrad 20 years ago. That book was immensely eye-opening for me and this one was no different. The way poor, mostly Black and brown children in this country are treated by the education system is disgraceful.
#MayBookFlowers A black and white cover from Mount TBR. I haven't read it yet because I know it's going to turn me into a rage monster. 😡
There is something deeply hypocritical in a society that holds an inner-city child only eight years old "accountable" for her performance on a high-stakes standardized exam but does not hold the high officials of our government accountable for robbing her of what they gave their own kids six or seven years before.
