Freakin’ white women. EL OH EL
White men can take a break from being at fault for all of the ills of the world because apparently, it’s white women who are the real problem in society. Those evil white teachers and white moms who aren’t teaching white children to hate themselves for their skin color ‘perpetuate systems of oppression’ or something.
Yeah, we know, it’s stupid but that’s what this education justice group is claiming.
Jane Crow? Really?
“Jane Crow: Then and Now” tells the true story of how white women—as mothers and teachers—have historically used their position to perpetuate systems of oppression, and how that history remains alive and active today. #JaneCrowThenandNow #JaneCrowEducationhttps://t.co/luFpCgyi8d pic.twitter.com/XU1Rtsiekt

So much *sigh*.

Or, you know, white women are human and do human stuff.
In a country where two-thirds of women voters are white and 61% of public school teachers are white women, those human failings and biases have real consequences for Black and Brown youth. 3/

Oh FFS.
Could it be that one of the greatest obstacles to educational justice in the United States lies in the mindsets—conscious or not—of white women as mothers, voters, and educators? 4/

DA DA DAAAAAAAA!
At the same time, we celebrate the allies in history: the white women accomplices who bucked the system and worked to provide just education to Black and Brown young people, sometimes at great personal cost. 5/

Demanding educational opportunity by casting all white teachers as racists and systematic oppressors… pic.twitter.com/wSY3Wu1oG4

Don’t forget those evil white mothers as well.
Keep picking that scab. That's always good for healing. pic.twitter.com/AqGH7E2NVM

Nah, they’ll always find something else to call racist.
It’s all they’ve got.
