Today, it remains to be seen whether schools will incorporate the holdings in SFFA and 303 Creative more speedily or more deliberately. Time will tell, and school attorneys are watching.
I love this piece Daniel! I do wonder if it is better to refer to Dr. Lee as a "Professor" rather than a "Black Professor". Everything she has said on this topic is valid and important; does it matter what color her skin is?
I am concerned that educational institutions use your & my children as unwitting test subjects. This has been going on for decades - they do not ask for permission or even warn parents they want to try untested (or poorly tested) techniques on their kids. There has been a string of failed educational fads going back decades. Recall learning styles? New Math? Sight Reading? NCLB? Ebonics? These fads have all been foisted on unsuspecting children and have harmed many, some irreparably.
Anti-racism, Cooperative Learning, SEL & PBIS, Growth Mindset are current fads that are looking more and more like failures.
Almost everything spewing forth from Schools of Education is either a worthless fad or rebranding of a tried and true technique. That should not be a surprise because humans have been educating their young since long before the invention of intellectuals.
The Creative decision was entirely differnt from the affirmative action one. The Creative decision was based on a hypothetical and shoul not even have been heard by the Court. Shame on FAIR for supporting this OR equating it with the SFFA decision.
It might be better just to stop discriminating.
Indeed.
Daniel,
Excellent piece. Let's hope the tide is beginning to turn.
