Now there are some stories that are possibly racially connected and then there are those stories that are BLATANTLY racist as in this case. I can't tell you how many parents that I know of, including mine, both white and black as well as other races, who have sent there kids to schools out of the district in which they reside. Is this a case of social injust!! Yes it is.. If they are going to arrest and investigate her, then they need to to everybody the same way. I am sure there are some white parents whose kids attend the same school, who are there and not legally suppose to be there. In this clip Soledad O'Brien clearly states her opinion on the matter. Foolishness. Why would you reprimand a parent who just wants the best education her kids. This is just another example of why we need to place our focus and attention back on our educational system.

So what is the element of injustice? Would it be socially just if everyone who did this were arrested? Is that your measure of social justice in this case?
ReplyDeleteAs you continue to journal, explain more about why you feel the way you do and be more explicit about how it connects to ideas of social justice as framed by the course. You will also need to include a bit more for your next journal submission.
