Why Teachers Are More Likely to Punish Black Students
A new study shows that teachers of all races are more likely to punish black students. Fortunately, research also points to solutions.
This article distinguishes "overt racism," "white supremacist intentions," and "implicit bias." These all exist and are problems, but they're importantly different and too often conflated. I think that conflation makes people with implicit bias (almost everyone!) less willing to examine it.
