A Sociopolitical Eclipse: The Surrendering of Two Super Systems to Promote Equity in U.S. Education

Abstract

In this analysis, I argue that inequitable social and educational policies and practices hinder equity in the U.S. educational system. I challenge and critique the status quo, and the nation's current efforts toward educational equity. I then propose a radical shift in educational policy – a surrendering of social and political systems for the purpose of promoting equitable schooling conditions.
