EQUITY IN THE NEWS
There is no place, no school, no group of people where equity issues aren’t present. Sometimes knowing that other educators are engaged in similar social justice work helps us keep going with our work for equity.
Use these local, regional, and national news stories to inform your work, step outside your immediate area of impact, and look for the larger patterns of transformative education across the country.
In the name of dialogue with diverse voices, our articles are collected from a variety of sources and do not necessarily represent the views of the CRUE Center.
