Interestingly, a man on a panel claimed that wealthy Black children commit as much crime as impoverished white children, but he didn't provide a source. He was challenged on this point in real time and couldn't support his statement. Subsequently, he dismissed it as too inflammatory to debate. A peer-reviewed study confirms that people tend to associate criminality more strongly with Black individuals, a bias that remains even when explicit prejudice is absent. #students #children #education #teachers #parents

Who determines which aspects of Black history deserve recognition? A heated debate erupted at Jacksonville's Café Resistance during a gathering for Banned Books Week. Critics questioned the inclusion of figures such as Assata Shakur and George Jackson on a mural honoring 12 Black activists from the civil rights and Black Power movements, citing their criminal convictions and alleged involvement in the killings of law enforcement officers. State Representative and U.S. Senate Democratic nominee Angie Nixon defended the display, asserting that history remains significant even when it is complex or uncomfortable, emphasizing the importance of confronting difficult truths in educational settings. #education #students #teachers #parents #bookban.
