How structural racism works

How structural racism works



Reflection:


In the video she contracts two term and unites them within one category 

The video starts explaining about the idea of Structural racism being a systems that people make and are used to discriminate against others because of their race. 


(Una organization or protesta people can start to discriminarte por cualquier razor asi sea por tu racé )


She goes on talks about the idea of “color blind” basically not wanting to pay attention to anything that promotes any program, organization or idea of racism

The idea of colorblind ideology focuses on the belief that race no longer matters and “I don’t see color”.

Structural racism continues to separate communities of color from access to better opportunities and progress by making it difficult for people of color to secure quality education, jobs, healthcare, and equal treatment in the criminal justice system.


It fosters discrimination that provides limitation in the ability to access power.


there are five key areas where racism can take place and those are in media, wealth, criminal justice, education, and housing. With all these areas being stated there is no safe space for people and that is just not right.

Racism still plagues the education system. While attending school in previous years something that always fought my attention is the idea of the school system that if we don’t know the language we don’t know the topic such as just because I don’t speak the same language doesn’t mean I don’t understand the “ A,E,I,O,U” or even my “ABC” if feels more like most people have blinders on. I have heard and experience kids bully others because of skin color or backgrounds , and call people or treat them a different way. Kids of color need a better education, inner city schools need to be fixed, especially the public schools. Going back into the video they talk about  assumptions being  the first step towards racism happen because if you think something about someone you aren't going to give them a chance.

    Hi Scar, I loved that you were able to put in your own connection from when you were in school into your blog. I also agree that making assumptions is the first step to racism and believe it or not we all do it whether we realize it or not.

Blog 8 Ableism

Blog 9 Eliminating Ableism in Education Thomas Hehir Skarlet Pena Quotes: "Cyndi Jones argues that, like the image of the poster child, this image implies that a disabled person is presumed deserving of pity — instead of respect — until the person proves capable of overcoming disability through extraordinary feats (Shapiro, 1994). Both of these dominant stereotypes of dis-ability, "Tiny Tims" and "supercrips," have at their core ableist perspectives, the failure to accept and value disabled ped e as they are." pg 3 This quote stood out to me because when you first meet someone that is disabled some negative thoughts that come to mind are that they are weak or that they can no longer live their lives as a “regular person” but that is not true . I believe that they deserve to be treated for respect and compassion for what they are going through especially for those that are going through life with their disability and without the help of anyone. ...

Queer in schools

Reflection// Argument #9 Queer in schools!! Queering in schools is a concept that has been gaining traction in recent years. It refers to the process of challenging and disrupting heteronormative and cisnormative assumptions, practices, and policies in educational settings. This is done in order to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In this weeks reading Rethinking Schools believe that queering in schools is a necessary and important step towards achieving social justice in education. They argue that schools should not only be safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students, but also places where all students are taught to respect and value diversity and difference. However, they also acknowledge that queering in schools is not without its challenges. Many educators may lack the knowledge or resources to effectively implement queer-inclusive curricula and policies. There may also be resistance from parents,...

Finn

Finn Literacy with an Attitude Reflection: In the article Finn expresses how poor class students received functional literacy that promotes compliance while students from privileged backgrounds were taught above average and powerful literacy that promotes power and independence. It is connected to my opinion on education equality which is that I believe everyone should have the chance to receive above average education from educators that are extremely capable of providing powerful literacy and support. “The struggle for justice and equality requires empowering education and powerful literacy”.Some students these days no longer care about learning and having the opportunity to have a better future but it is not entirely their fault. The educational system right now is not in support of all children take for example the school to prison pipeline.There is an actual system built to make students fail especially students of color. This article is a reminder that eduactional equality...
