Abstract

Radhakrishnan examines how U.S. schooling reproduces white supremacy and identifies teacher education strategies to disrupt curriculum, instruction, and policy.


This article examines the entrenchment White Supremacy in the American educational system, and the implications of these beliefs on teacher education and teacher preparation. Efforts at Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice have multiple barriers to pierce to create significant change. Schools are a reproduction of larger society and normalized White Supremacy. In this article, I offer a brief historical analysis of the underlying systems that shape the curriculum, standards, and instruction that reproduce White Supremacy in K-12 U.S. schools and offer opportunities for resistance, change, and...disruption.
