Should schools be colorblind?


Should schools be colorblind?  by Laurie Cooper Stoll provides educators with an introduction to colorblindness. Stoll clarifies how colorblindness reinforces racism. She also points out the continued existence of racism in schools and how it is often camouflaged. Stoll concludes the book with an outline of how to undertake antiracist actions in education settings. This is an informative introduction to the concepts and misconceptions behind colorblindness as they relate to schools. The book is written especially for teachers, administrators, and parents of K-12 age children, but the book's contents also will prove informative for those working in higher education.
