FEED DROP: MindShift - “Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal” author Bettina Love

Brown v. Board of Education ended school segregation 70 years ago
this month. How has education changed for Black students since?


Adult ISH is featuring a special episode of
MindShift, a podcast from KQED that “explores the future
of learning.” 


In a conversation that points out an often-ignored downside to
desegregation in education, MindShift host and YR Media alum
Nimah Gobir chats with Bettina
Love, author of “Punished for Dreaming: How
School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal,” and
co-founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network.


The conversation explores how the Supreme Court ruling on Brown
drastically reduced the number of Black teachers working, the
impact of Ronald Reagan’s school crime policies on Black
students, and how reparations can be used to repair some of the
harm done to Black children in the education system.
