Poisoning the Well of Art Education
Kamhi, Michelle Marder
Academic Questions, v34 n3 p85-93 2021
"Systemic racism" implies that racist policies are embedded in laws and institutions. That claim is patently false as evidenced by Americans having elected a biracial president for two terms and, more recently, a biracial vice president--not to mention blacks serving in the cabinet, in the highest ranks of the armed services, and in various other prominent positions, both public and private. The truth is that the only systemic racism that exists today is in the form of affirmative action measures "favoring" blacks, among other presumably disadvantaged groups. In this article, the author examines how "systemic racism" has effected Art Education.
