[Time2000_t22 0087] Black Lives Matter
by Naomi Weinman 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

During the recent tumultuous days, we have been reminded that the racial injustices existing in our country and world need immediate and sustained attention and action. We have seen signs carried by CHILDREN, many of whom are likely New York City Public School students, as they participated in protests against the pervasive racist behaviors toward Black people. Seeing young children and their families crying to be heard caused us to reflect on our own responsibilities as mathematics educators. Although there are massive inequities throughout education, we are acutely aware of the particular issues surrounding the learning and teaching of mathematics, and the historically elitist view of who can learn math. Black students and students of color have been underserved in our educational system. We must work to ensure that every student learns math, remembering that what teachers might erroneously perceive as "lack of ability" is really about lack of ACCESS to high-quality educational opportunities. We, the mathematics education faculty at Queens College, commit to continually learn about the inequities within our educational system and to examine our own implicit biases in order to provide equal opportunities for our pre- and in-service teachers and their students, particularly those who are Black and students of color. We will begin by including anti-racist pedagogical materials in our coursework and class discussions. Our mission is to prepare teacher candidates who are knowledgeable, passionate, and well-equipped to teach in a culturally responsive manner. Black Lives Matter.
