Explain how institutional racism is present in schools today
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response: Starting in the 1990s the process of resegregation has resulted in 75% of African American and Latino students attending schools with predominantly minority populations, with more than 2 million of them attending "schools which we call apartheid schools." Textbooks continue to demonstrate a Eurocentric bias in history, literature, art and music. Institutional racism is also demonstrated through lower graduation rates and higher suspensions and expulsions rates of students of color. Tracking in schools separates students of color through overrepresentation in vocational, remedial and special education classes. They are underrepresented in accelerated class.
