Abstract: Predominantly white pre-service teachers typically lack awareness of white supremacist patriarchal (WSP) ideology as a system of thought and praxis. Yet, the prevalence of white people working as teachers alongside BIPOC students and families in urban contexts persists. These teachers’ lack of understanding about the system that plagues the success trajectories of their students perpetuates social and academic injustice, inequity, and violence. In this paper, a Black teacher educator works to solve this problem by clarifying white Supremacist Patriarchal Ideology as a spectacular phenomenon with multiple identifiable features. She presents the eight entrenched tenets of WSP she shares with pre-service teachers, along with simple methods to identify and dismantle it.
