This article looks at urban education through the vantage point of Chicago’s mayors. It begins with Carter H. Harrison II (who served from 1897 to 1905 and again from 1911 to 1915) and ends with Richard M. Daley (1989 to the present), with most of the focus on four long-serving mayors: William Hale Thompson (1915–23 and 1927–31), Edward Kelly (1933–47), Richard J.

Native People And Systemic Bias In The Public Education System, John R. Fisher, Bayo Oludaja

Very often educational programs are set up to accommodate special needs, but, although well meaning, they incorporate this form of bias.

Interviews were held with 19 students, 24 parents and community members, and nine faculty/administrators to assess how systemic bias …
