Step Away From The Children

by Jose
Tagsclass, education, race

by Jose
Tagscnn, race
This is what I get for reading comments on CNN blogs. Or anywhere else but my blog anyways. The trolls spew racism all over a post that’s simply meant to help progress the conversation about race, not get us stuck in the same epitaphs of indifference and conservat...

Don’t Talk To Me About The Good Old Days

by Jose
Tagsblack, children of color, curriculum, education, race
As recently as last month, I saw someone tweet that cops always made their whole city feel safe, and #OccupyWallStreet inspired a distrust of the executive branch unlike any other. It’s probably not the first time a Black person had to say, “I told you so.&#...

by Jose
Tagsadministrator, bathroom, education, high school, race
Back in my 8th grade social studies class, our teacher Mr. McIntyre used to always say, “Well, it’s much better to be pissed off than pissed on.” I laughed. No way in hell did I want to be pissed on, and the image made me gag harder than I did over wat...

My good friend Brent reminded me that Diane Ravitch tweeted the notorious article by Michael Petrilli comparing Klout scores of some of the biggest names in the online education world. It has the effect where people can take a macro-view of the education world and have ...

Yes, Yes, But I’m Also Black [On Blogging In The Ed-World]

by Jose
Tagsblogging, education, race
Last week, I brought up my opinion that children of color shouldn’t be limited to certain occupations due to the perceived notions of observers. I especially pointed this out to [some] White so-called liberals, because it seems that too many of them believe that t...

Our Middle Fingers Are The Same Color, Too

by Jose

Yesterday, I reflected on the state of our country in a July 4th special on this blog. About 18 hours later, I got the best example of the state of our country’s views about each other with a couple of waves of the finger. We watched the fireworks explode from Wee...

Another Reason Why Some Educators Won’t Talk About Race

by Jose
Tagsimmigration, letters, luis ramirez, mexican, race
No, you’re going to get into race at length. Or any other real world issue for that matter. Because you’ve made your blog just as someone in the edublogosphere prescribed: edu-tech here, ed policy there, a response to the latest trend sprinkled in. You’...

Normally, I don’t start posts like this, but imagine my annoyance at another misinformed message regarding Black History Month, this time from an unlikely source. Not sure who first posted it, but in the video, Morgan Freeman asserts two points: Black history is A...
