Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.
As the first Black superintendent of schools, Jonathan Gibbs supervised every county’s standard of education and established uniform textbooks across Florida. I hope his ghost is haunting Ron DeSantasis and Florida state legistlators who undermine and attack public education.

"IRREGARDLESS" HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1795. ITS INCLUSION IN THE DICTIONARY IS NOT A SIGN OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE FALLING TO PIECES, OR PROOF OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILING, NOR IS IT THE WORK OF CURSED MILLENNIALS. IT JUST MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE USE IT TO MEAN "REGARDLESS."

Yee. Congrats friend 🖤
Pub Day #2! SCHOOL CLOTHES is a history of education written from black students’ perspectives. A collective memoir—or chorus of 19th & 20th century first-person narratives—detailing the distinctive experience of black youth in US schools. I had fun writing this. Check it out!

Here I write about how Ed reformers and fed policy makers came to politicize the image of the “strict black disciplinarian,” as a substitute to (more expensive) structural urban school reforms & demonstrate why school discipline became a dominant focus of school reform

You know all those movies about mean, strict, black principals who confront “failing” urban schools & at the end the students beat the odds-cause all they needed was “good old fashioned discipline…”
@CritPolicyProf's article on images of strict Black principals is also up. Her work on the disciplinary functions of education policy are so insightful, and this article illuminates the primacy of disciplinary policy in urban schools. Check it out! https://t.co/q3FrQbA0JM
