Lifelong educators expose America’s systems of racism in ‘The Imperfect Storm: Racism and a Pandemic Collide in America’
James and Wandy Taylor share how systemic racism in public education has prevented many black and brown children from achieving their full potential.
BUFORD, Ga., March 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the insights provided in James and Wandy Taylor’s new book, “The Imperfect Storm: Racism and a Pandemic Collide in America: How it Impacted Public Education and How to Fix It” (published by Archway Publishing), readers can discover the problems students of color face on a daily basis and get strategies to eradicate racism in U.S. schools.
James and Wandy Taylor share how systemic racism in public education has prevented many black and brown children from achieving their full potential. In the book they explore how to:
• bridge the culture gap between teachers and students in culturally diverse classrooms;
• prepare teachers to succeed in multicultural settings;
• ascertain the differences between divergent views of education.
The authors also take readers on a journey through America’s past that begins with the Jim Crow era of the late nineteenth century when America had separate and unequal societies and culminates in the present where students learn together — but from teachers that are often biased.
With their book, James and Wandy Taylor hope to “heighten the readers’ awareness of systemic problems that continue to stifle the effectiveness of public education in America.”
