I have been a public school teacher for over 10 years. I have taught in both urban and suburban schools, and I have seen firsthand the racism that exists in our education system.

Racism is not just about overt acts of discrimination. It is also about the systemic inequalities that exist in our schools, such as the lack of diversity among teachers and administrators, the disproportionate funding of schools in minority communities, and the biased curriculum that often fails to reflect the experiences of students of color.

I have seen the impact of racism on my students. I have seen them being tracked into lower-level classes, suspended and expelled at higher rates than their white peers, and denied opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities.

I have also seen the impact of racism on my colleagues. I have seen teachers of color being passed over for promotions, being treated with disrespect by administrators, and being held to a higher standard than their white colleagues.

I am speaking out about racism in our schools because I believe that it is a problem that we can no longer afford to ignore. Racism is harming our students, our teachers, and our communities.

I am calling for a comprehensive reform of our education system. We need to address the systemic inequalities that exist in our schools, and we need to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students.

I believe that we can create a better future for our children. But we can only do that if we are willing to confront the racism that exists in our schools and work to create a more just and equitable education system.

Here are some specific reforms that I believe are necessary:

• Increase the diversity of teachers and administrators.
• Provide more funding for schools in minority communities.
• Revise the curriculum to include more diverse perspectives.
• Create more opportunities for students of color to participate in extracurricular activities.
• Provide more support for teachers of color.

I know that these reforms will not be easy to implement. But I believe that they are essential if we want to create a more just and equitable education system.

I am calling on all of us to work together to create a better future for our children. Let's end racism in our schools and create a more inclusive and equitable education system for all.
