It seems like teachers want to do the right thing and, along with most white people, they dont want to say the wrong thing about race (or class or LGBT or adoption or disabilities) so they just dont bring it up. Most white folks I know here dont see any evidence of racism unless someone points to specific incidents or talks through the issues, like Driving While Black or Shopping While Black. Even then, some of my white friends, and many of my students, get exasperated, Racism is so old-school, Ive been told. They dont want to believe that racism exists. This essay is for them, and for my kids.
