  9. The profession of color-blindness, though possibly well intended, is problematic and presents a huge blind spot in orientation when educating African American children. (McIntosh 1989) • “Why do Black youths, in particular, think about themselves in terms of Race?” (Tatum 1997) • African American children view collective growth and achievement above and beyond individual success.

  10. The Evils of Public Schools “He who Passively Accepts evil (is) as much involved in it as he who helps perpetuate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” -Martin Luther King
