The UCLA Daily Bruin's recent article, discussing a report by the Civil Rights Project that documents growing segregation in suburban public schools, tells us we are a long way from equalizing educational opportunity in the U.S. To learn more, click on this link! https://lnkd.in/g5ZSrzxc

CIVICS: JANUARY 6 UNITED STATES CAPITOL ATTACK A dagger aimed at the heart of our democracy: The peaceful transfer of presidential power! The events of January 6, 2021, serve as a stark reminder that safeguarding democracy is a collective responsibility. Holding those accountable for spreading the Big Lie and inciting seditious actions is crucial to upholding our constitutional values. As civic guardians, it is imperative that we not only express pride in American democracy but actively defend it. To protect our nation's democratic foundations, we must stand united against any threats to the rule of law and our fundamental freedoms. Engaging with elected representatives and staying informed about potential risks to our democracy are essential steps in safeguarding our future and that of generations to come. Prioritizing civic education, engagement, and discourse is key to strengthening our democratic values. Educational institutions play a crucial role in creating a learning environment that fosters deep understanding of American history, civics, civic education, and citizenship. Educators must equip all students to recognize, analyze, and defend against authoritarian and fascistic policies, ensuring that citizens develop a robust understanding of American democracy and actively participate in shaping its future. Preserving the Rule of Law, the Constitution, Democracy, and our 248 years of Self Rule necessitates a commitment to civic education and citizenship growth through active engagement in our democracy. Educational institutions can facilitate classroom discussions and analysis of our contemporary American constitutional order, fostering a deeper appreciation for our democratic principles. Let's work together to safeguard our democracy for generations to come. #Democracy #CivicEducation #AmericanHistory #election2024

📜 In a historic moment that changed the course of American education, the Brown v. Board of Education case in 1954 shattered the chains of segregation in public schools. 📚 🚫 Segregation was declared unconstitutional, marking a significant victory for civil rights and equality. ✨ Let's reflect on this pivotal moment in history, celebrating progress and the ongoing fight for justice. 📖💪 The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case in 1954 stands as a monumental milestone in the struggle for civil rights and equality in the United States. At its core, this historic legal battle challenged the deeply entrenched system of racial segregation that plagued public schools across the nation. In this landmark case, the plaintiffs argued that the doctrine of "separate but equal" had no place in education. They contended that racially segregated schools were inherently unequal, causing profound disparities in resources, facilities, and opportunities for African American students. Thurgood Marshall, the brilliant attorney who later became the first African American Supreme Court Justice, led the legal team for the plaintiffs. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The Court ruled that the doctrine of "separate but equal" had no place in education because it perpetuated the idea of racial inferiority. Chief Justice Earl Warren famously wrote, "In the field of public education, the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." #BrownvBoard #CivilRights #EqualityForAll #EducationMatters #HistoricChange #NeverForget #SegregationNoMore #JusticePrevails #Juneteenth2023 #JuneteenthNYC #Juneteenthny #juneteenthnewyork #juneteenthnewyorkcity

Howard. UCLA education professor Tyrone C. Howard has written an important new book defining equity, making clear what it is, why it's important, and why it is urgently needed in our current moment to meet the needs of our most vulnerable students.

The journey toward desegregation in the United States is marked by significant milestones, each representing a step forward in the long fight for civil rights and equality. From the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional, to the subsequent efforts to enforce and realize the promise of desegregation across the nation. Here are some pivotal moments in the timeline of desegregation: 1954: Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision 1957: Integration of Little Rock Central High School 1960: New Orleans school desegregation 1964: Civil Rights Act passed These moments, among many others, highlight the progress made and the challenges that persist in achieving true educational equity. Let's honor the courage of those who fought for desegregation and continue to work towards a fully inclusive education system.

Today we also publish our Manifesto Asks for the 2024 general election, following a great deal of consultation work throughout last year. These set out the course correction necessary to halt and reverse the decline in Expressive Arts education that you will shortly see presented in our annual Report Card. Our Manifesto Asks – in the form of a blueprint for an inclusive arts-rich education for every child – have been developed in the context of widespread calls for education system change, and are about the wider context for schooling as well as the specific issues for Arts education. The foundational education policy changes that CLA is seeking are: Setting new purposes for schooling – with the Expressive Arts as one of the group of core and equal curriculum areas mapped onto the new purposes; this goes beyond just a ‘curriculum review’. A minimum four-hour Arts entitlement within the school week to the end of Key Stage 3 that enables high-quality, progressive learning experiences, and provision at Key Stages 4 and 5 outside of exam syllabuses. In addition, there should be extra-curricular Expressive Arts opportunities at all stages and phases of schooling. Complete reform of the school accountability system to ensure it no longer adversely impacts Expressive Arts subjects – scrapping the EBacc and reforming Progress 8 – and Changes to student assessment in line with the recommendations of Rethinking Assessment. An entitlement to teacher training and teacher development opportunities for Expressive Arts subjects. Underpinning these system changes there will need to be: An emphasis on a rounded learning experience for the personal development and wellbeing of the ‘whole child’ – for the present as well as for the future. A focus on representation, breadth and relevance across the Arts curriculum, resources and practice. A commitment to ensuring that the cultural sector can respond strategically and collaboratively to meet the needs of young people in schools and in their communities, and is resourced specifically to support this work. https://lnkd.in/eSw-setP
