Reimagining Education Away From the Merry-Go-Round
In the face of COVID-19, our educational institutions shuttered their doors, moved curricula online, loosened regulations, and reimagined student engagement. Almost as quickly, society reverted to an eagerness for normality as we devolved into anti-Critical Race Theory rallies, anti-mask board meetings, and protests.

The Chicago Context
Not articulated by school reformers are the obstacles created by the historical mismatch between the needs of African American communities and the limited opportunities from their local schools. The Chicago context is the focal point of this discussion because the school system is currently undergoing its third wave of school reform in 10 years and the schools struggling the most through this change process are located in African American neighbo…
