A new report found Black girls across the Keystone State are subjected to "daunting educational barriers" in K-12 public schools and offers recommendations to make the school system more inclusive. The report detailed barriers with curriculum, dress codes, anti-Black racism, sexism and other issues.
Paige Joki, staff attorney for the Education Law Center-Pennsylvania and leader of the Black Girls Education Justice Initiative, said the purpose of the report was to hear the concerns of Black girls, because their voices were missing from conversations.
She reported students advised them they were exposed to harmful curriculum, and one of the girls' recommendations for public schools is to implement a culturally responsive and affirming curriculum.
"Black girls shared with us that the ways that they were being taught about their history and experiences was traumatic, nonresponsive, and erased experiences of those who are part of their community or have shared identities," Joki reported. "Girls spoke to subjects being handled carelessly, like American slavery."
Another recommendation in the report called for police to be removed from schools. Joki pointed out Black children disproportionately attend schools where police are present, and many of the Black girls they spoke with felt police in their schools created a climate of fear and made them unsafe.......
"Black girls shared with us that there were not enough counselors at their school or any at all, that the focus was mainly on academics, rather than on supporting their well-being," Joki explained. "

More anti-white, racist propaganda.
What about bad-hair days?
It seems like blacks like to complain to me and expects to be handed everything to them instead of working. No other race does this.
so they spoke with a bunch of criminals who feel less safe with police around.
DUH
How Dare Schools FOCUS on academics.
Damn Racists (BLM & Dems) are never happy. I’m beyond sick and tired of these whiney a@@ fools like Joki constantly spouting their pathetic grievances.
>Black children disproportionately attend schools where police are present,
Totally a coincidence I am sure.
Didn't work before, but I'm sure it will this time - and they'll be ready to enter the world without any knowledge or familiarity with any other race or custom in the working world and entirely used to have everyone else conform to their wants and needs.
Brilliant.
Publik skrewls...
The real problem here isn’t skin color, is it...
A new report... By whom? No one with knowledge of public skools.
Sounds like some educator tried to slip math and science into the curriculum again.
Dat's racist.
Minorities need to be affirmed...not educated. The whole idea of education basically tells a student that he/she/they/them/it isn't good enough as they are--that they need to improve themselves by learning new stuff.
Dat's just plain racist.
LOL. That's why you're there, Jokey. Focused on academics? Well hush my mouth and imagine that!
Sounds like they want the School to become their Mommies.
Enough is never going to be enough.
It’s a real shame that Talia has been subjected to 12+ years of indoctrination, incompetence and grooming by teachers. She’s probably not learning this crap from her father and you know the reason why.
Could it be that our grandparents had good reasons for their ‘separate but equal’ policies?
“Black girls shared with us that there were not enough counselors at their school or any at all, that the focus was mainly on academics, rather than on supporting their well-being,”
WOW!!! A focus on academics is a problem for them. Well, that’s just too bad!!! I suggest that these losers start their own school in which they can have fed to them all of the “black lies matter” BS they want. The intelligent, productive sector of society will move on from them.
What a bunch of BS! If they had any brains they’d be screaming for (1) school choice and (2) for all the Catholic schools across PA to reopen. So many of them here have closed over the years and these girls would be a million times better off there than in any public school.
Oh, I agree, uniforms are needed and how about cubicles with computers for all. Intial cost would be high but it would drop after that.
George Wallace was right
