Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before it was over, they fired him from the little schoolhouse at which he had taught devotedly for ten years. And they fired his wife and two of his sisters and a niece. And they threatened him with bodily harm. And they sued him on trumped-up charges and convicted him in a kangaroo court and left him with a judgment that denied him credit from any bank. And they burned his house to the ground while the fire department stood around watching the flames consume the night. And they stoned the church at which he pastored. And fired shotguns at him out of the dark. But he was not Job, and so he fired back and called the police, who did not come and kept not coming. Then he fled, driving north at eighty-five miles an hour over country roads, until he was across the state line. Soon after, they burned his church to the ground and charged him, for having shot back that night, with felonious assault with a deadly weapon, and so he became an official fugitive from justice. In time, the governor of his state announced they would not pursue this minister who had caused all the trouble, and said of him: Good riddance.

Download or read book Just Schools written by Martha Minow and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2008-04-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators and policymakers who share the goal of equal opportunity in schools often hold differing notions of what entails a just school in multicultural America. Some emphasize the importance of integration and uniform treatment for all, while others point to the benefits of honoring cultural diversity in ways that make minority students feel at home. In Just Schools, noted legal scholars, educators, and social scientists examine schools with widely divergent methods of fostering equality in order to explore the possibilities and limits of equal education today. The contributors to Just Schools combine empirical research with rich ethnographic accounts to paint a vivid picture of the quest for justice in classrooms around the nation. Legal scholar Martha Minow considers the impact of school choice reforms on equal educational opportunities. Psychologist Hazel Rose Markus examines culturally sensitive programs where students exhibit superior performance on standardized tests and feel safer and more interested in school than those in color-blind programs. Anthropologist Heather Lindkvist reports on how Somali Muslims in Lewiston, Maine, invoked the American ideal of inclusiveness in winning dress-code exemptions and accommodations for Islamic rituals in the local public school. Political scientist Austin Sarat looks at a school system in which everyone endorses multiculturalism but holds conflicting views on the extent to which culturally sensitive practices should enter into the academic curriculum. Anthropologist Barnaby Riedel investigates how a private Muslim school in Chicago aspires to universalist ideals, and education scholar James Banks argues that schools have a responsibility to prepare students for citizenship in a multicultural society. Anthropologist John Bowen offers a nuanced interpretation of educational commitments in France and the headscarf controversy in French schools. Anthropologist Richard Shweder concludes the volume by connecting debates about diversity in schools with a broader conflict between national assimilation and cultural autonomy. As America's schools strive to accommodate new students from around the world, Just Schools provides a provocative and insightful look at the different ways we define and promote justice in schools and in society at large.

Book Synopsis Discretionary Equality by : Joseph King Jr. EdD
Download or read book Discretionary Equality written by Joseph King Jr. EdD and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discretionary Equality traces the history of the school desegregation enforcement efforts of the Education Departments Office for Civil Rights (Ed-OCR). This study begins with a discussion of the historical factors leading to the inconsistent application of the equal educational policy. Very shortly after the old Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was established in 1953, a significant court decision, Brown v. Board of Education, ordered the desegregation of the nations schools. From the Brown decision in 1954 to 1981, equal education policy was inconsistently enforced at the national level. The causal factors of inconsistent educational policy and enforcement are rooted in many complex social and political forces. Author Dr. Joseph King Jr. reviews the development and status of current affirmative action procedures and provides an overview of the legislation in the Congress that has developed since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Discretionary Equality offers a critical analysis of presidential leadership, congressional initiative, and the effects of political interest groups as contributing factors in the lack of uniformity of policy and enforcement of school desegregation. Finally, addressing timely issues, it identifies the current consequences of the departments inconsistent implementation of equal educational opportunity.

Book Synopsis School Desegregation Research by : Jeffrey Prager
Download or read book School Desegregation Research written by Jeffrey Prager and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desegregation situation is the keynote theme of the following chapters. I Each of them touches on a different dimension of the situation: the historical, the temporal, the spatial. But the reader, perusing the essays with the situation in mind, should remember that the desegregation situation should not be inter preted literally. Authorities and adults certainly, school-age children probably, are influenced by their awareness of a sequence of past and future situations. Some may even operate with William James's (1890, p. 608) notion of "the specious present" that "has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming," thus reducing the potency of the present situation. Others may be dancing to a slower tempo of change, thus becoming more responsive to the present situation. Whatever the perceived tempo, many must share the view that the future may reverse the direction of the past. Some may see that new future direction as unswerving, unending, or long-lasting; others may see it as short-lived. And it is through attention to the phenomenological description of desegregation that these issues can be explored; a theme that is considered in several of the following chapters.

Book Synopsis Racism, Education and the State by : Barry Troyna
Download or read book Racism, Education and the State written by Barry Troyna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multicultural education is a major concern throughout the world. In the UK many local education authorities have implemented curricula which stress the multicultural nature of the world and which pay some attention to the cultural tradition of minority groups. This book argues that this approach is inadequate. It reviews education policies from the 1960s to the mid 1980s and argues that the playing down of racism in education and avoidance of any clear policy was in fact misguided and has not resulted in equality of opportunity for all students, as was hoped. The authors argue instead that clear policies to counter racism should be formulated and should be linked to more broadly conceived equal opportunity programmes - in short, that these policies cannot be effective if they fail to consider also inequalities of gender and class.
Book Synopsis Elementary and Middle Magnet Schools by : Boston School Dept
Download or read book Elementary and Middle Magnet Schools written by Boston School Dept and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary and Middle Magnet Schools: A Guide for Parents and Students, 1979-80 Through the input of people connected with Boston's magnet schools we have found that many innovative and exciting programs exist. We have also found, however, that at some schools there are problems with inadequate facilities. We have included quotes from parents, teachers, students and administrators which convey their Views on both the strengths and weaknesses of their schools. Editorial comments are provided based on the interviewers' observations. We are especially grateful to the parents and students who gave us their time and provided us with their impressions of the schools. It has not been our intention to evaluate these impressions of the schools from the information we gathered. Our intent has been to design a guide book that would provide parents and students with options and descriptions of programs that are available as they make decisions for the 1979 - 1980 school year. Prior to any decision, we urge that you visit the school and examine the educational program and atmosphere. Only then will you, as parents and students, know that you have found the environment which best meets your needs and priorities. Guidelines developed by the State Department of Education mandate the involvement of parents and teachers in the planning and approval of proposals developed for funding under Chapter 636. Two categories of programs funded under this law are those developed through the court mandated university - school pairings and cultural collaborative efforts. We identify universities and cultural institutions within the City of Boston, which work together with a particular school to create and put to use educational, business and cultural programs for students within the school. The unique educational and cultural services which are provided by these pairings complement the magnet theme, which in itself is what influences the educational program of the particular school. The findings of the interviewers may or may not be supported by school authorities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Education, Change, and the Policy Process by : Harold Silver
Download or read book Education, Change, and the Policy Process written by Harold Silver and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1990 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to track the historical elements of change in educational policy formation and implementation in relation to the specifics of responses to change, the possibilities of change, and attempts to achieve it. Chapter 1 assess whether the future is in past historical change or is simply illuminated by it. The notion of an explicit relationship between history and policy analysis is expounded in chapter 2. The answer for successful policy making in British higher education is looked for in chapter 3. Chapter 4 describes versions of accountability in public sectors of higher education. Chapter 5 delineates the decline in the reputation of British higher education from the mid-1960s to the 1980s. Chapter 6 places vocationalism in the context of further education, describing its intentions and outcomes. Chapter 7 contains a history of periods in British education from 1780 until now. Chapter 8 examines the American zeal for change in education as a historical process beginning in the 1980s. Chapter 9 describes the plight of socially disadvantaged children in school from 1920-80. Chapter 10 reinforces the general thrust of the book as a concern for using "historical policy analysis" as a point of entry into considerations for educational change. Notes at the end of each chapter and an index are provided. (EJS)
