I have an assignment for an EdD to annotate text across the web. As my interest lies in striving for and furthering issues of equity in education, this opinion article and it's corollary- caught my attention. Then, a friend sent me this opinion piece by the Mayor's son.
My aim is to annotate all three articles, through a more student, scholarly lens- as opposed to just writing my opinions. I hope to do so in conversation with others who would like to engage in this way as well.
Here is more of an overview of the issue, rather than just an op-ed piece. Dr. Pedro Noguera is interviewed as well.

oo many Asians have chosen to preserve the status quo by buying into racism against blacks and the white supremacist system built on
Yes- this is hugely problematic. East Asians especially have privilege that other Asians do not. And within the structure of white supremacy, Asians are and have, historically, been pitted against other racialized groups to keep them down. The idea of the model minority was built on this- see Newsweek's 1968 article and the NYTimes "Success Story: Japanese-American Style"

I have an assignment for an EdD to annotate text across the web. A friend sent me this article after I posted a Facebook message saying I was interested in annotating these NYTimes opinion pieces for this assignment (op ed piece 1 and op ed piece 2), as my interest lies in striving for and furthering issues of equity in education.

I wish that more children across the city had the opportunities they deserve to demonstrate their talent and hard work. It is worth fighting for this principle — in our public schools perhaps most of all.
Again, isn't this what the chancellor and mayor are fighting for?
-
s the universal principle that talent and hard work should be rewarded
And here is one of the biggest myths and narratives out there- hard work and talent will get you as far as you need to in life- never mind the structural and systemic inequities you and your ancestors have faced, rendering opportunities like taking a single test absolutely inequitable.

this is a problem and what may be more of a problem is the underlying beliefs that these students don't attend this school, and schools like it, because they "don't have what it takes," "aren't smart enough," "etc." There's another insidious myth about who belongs at these schools and these students are one of them- this is an underlying narrative of this whole piece.

. Race-prejudices, which keep brown and black men in their "places," we are coming to regard as useful allies with such a theory, no matter how much they may dull the ambition and sicken the hearts of struggling human beings. And above all, we daily hear that an education that encourages aspiration, that sets the loftiest of ideals and seeks as an end culture and character rather than bread-winning, is the privilege of white men and the danger and delusion of black.
