Education Equity And Brown: Reform, Retrenchment, And Exclusionary School Discipline, Thalia Gonzalez, Will Martel Jan 2024

Education Equity And Brown: Reform, Retrenchment, And Exclusionary School Discipline, Thalia Gonzalez, Will Martel

Faculty Scholarship

Public schools have served as sites of social, political, and legal contestation since their inception in the United States. And, while the pathways of racialized inequalities have arguably waxed and waned, threats of exclusion and segregation—constituted and governed by anti-Blackness—have cast a long shadow on the promise of educational equity. In response to the central provocation of the 2024 Georgetown Journal of Law & Modern Critical Race Perspectives symposium—revisiting Brown v. Board of Education and the struggle for racial equity in education—this Essay seeks to (re)connect the past and present. More directly, through the Critical Race Theory reform and retrenchment …
