The Theater of Equity
Johnson, Bernadeia
Penn GSE Perspectives on Urban Education, v20 n1 Fall 2022
Despite multiple creative approaches to integrating Minnesota's segregated urban public schools, students of color in these schools remain the majority. The state's progressive, anti-racist sentiment toward education has not evolved into action on the part of White families, which leaves under-resourced urban districts struggling beneath a mere veneer of equity. Bernadeia Johnson, a former superintendent of Minneapolis Public Schools, describes the trajectory of segregation in her state and the resistance that continues to prevent integration policies from becoming reality in the Minneapolis district.
