PRE-ORDER: The Misunderstanding Misuse and Miseducation of Black and Brown Boys
This blockbuster book is a must-have for every school leader, teacher, community leader, parent, and business owner. The book has a redemptive quality to it, but it is a raw read. It will take bravery to purchase this book, open-mindedness to read it, reflectiveness to own its words, and courage to make the necessary adjustments in order to correct a culture that we are complicit in creating—a culture that fears black and brown boys, a culture that expects very little from black and brown boys, and a culture that uses black and brown boys for entertainment but fails to adequately educate them for life.
Not only is the book filled with expertise, but it is filled with real and raw stories, personal experiences, and interviews with teachers and school leaders. With over 31 years in education and educational endeavors in over 10 states and five countries, Felicia writes about the unseen biases in schools, reasons that black and brown boys fail to thrive in schools and society, the misuse and misdirection of black and brown boys to areas of creativity and sports instead of academics, and how we can correct this system before it’s too late.
This book would be great for a book study in schools, leadership and community circles, and coaches’ corners. The book is meant to be a change agent, not just for black and brown boys but for society. If we want society to change, we must change what goes on in schools, and if we want to change schools, we must change how we educate black and brown boys.
