Meet Dr. Bettina L. Love, the William F. Russell Professor at Teachers College, Columbia University, who delves into the complex dynamics of education reform and highlights its detrimental effects on Black children and communities. In this episode, Diverse host Dr. Jamal Watson engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Love, author of The New York Times best seller, Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Can Heal. Tune in as Watson and Love discuss the influence of powerful narratives and critical analysis on Black children, challenging the traditional notions of philanthropy, reimagining the concept of harm, and advocating for meaningful repair in education. KEY POINTS: - Love's upbringing and its influence on her understanding of education reform - The intersection of race, education, and policy - The impact of education reforms on black children and communities - On abolition, reparations, and white philanthropy - The importance of centering Black voices in education reform efforts - The pivotal role of shifting societal paradigms for injustices and promoting healing QUOTABLES: "Abolition is so much about love and compassion but holding people accountable for harm. I believe, as an abolitionist, we can't have new structures and new understanding if we don't know what has been done to us and who did it to us." – Dr. Bettina Love "People think change starts in the streets, and it does. But we need change at your house. It's how you raise your children. It's how you talk to your children. It's how you talk to your partner. It's how you talk to the people in your community." – Dr. Bettina Love GUEST RESOURCES: Bettina Love Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/Diverse-Issues-In-Higher-Education X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/DiverseIssues Instagram: https://instagram.com/DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation Facebook: https://facebook.com/DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation Closed captioning and live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.

The word “reform” is bandied about, but what does “reform” actually mean? And how do school segregation issues – past and present – show up, and impact education for generations to come?Special thanks to our guest, Dr. Bettina L.

A conversation with Bettina Love, Gholdy Muhammad, Dena Simmons and Brian Jones about abolitionist teaching and antiracist education. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What would freedom look like in our schools? How can abolitionist educators make the most of this moment to fight for humane, liberatory, anti-racist schooling for black youth and for all youth? The coronavirus pandemic has transformed the US education system overnight. The antiracist rebellion in the streets has shown a light on the deep racial inequality in America. Educators and activists who have nurtured radical dreams for public schools now face an unprecedented moment of change, and the challenge of trying to teach and organize online in the midst of unfolding crises. Scholar and author Bettina Love's concept of abolitionist teaching is about adopting the radical stance of the movement that ultimately overthrew slavery, but persisted and insisted on freedom long before that victory. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bettina L.

She also explains the neuroscience around empathy and compassion while addressing racial disparities in healthcare. Listen to how you can take a better care of yourself and the people around you without the risks of over-empathising. “We know that Covid-19 disproportionately impacts communities of color.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Teachers and Students across the state of Minnesota just had their annual MEA (Minnesota Educators Academy) weekend, in which students get vacation and teachers and support staff get to attend a conference held by Education Minnesota. This year was a virtual conference, but boy... was it a doosey. The keynote speaker was Dr. Bettina L. Love of the Abolitionist Teacher's Network (ATN). The ATN is another Marxist, critical race theorizing, activist group that exists to infiltrate our schools with the message that white people are racist and need to get out of the way. They use words like "activists", "radical", and "agitators". The agenda was full of special interest topics around race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation, while using topics around retirement to lure in unsuspecting young teachers. This event is a union activism weekend to radicalize our teachers. Do you really want to continue trusting your kids to this kind of teaching? It's time for another solution to our educational woes. We also share our indignation over the brand new $1.9 Billion Bonding Bill that almost every fiscally conservative Republican voted in favor of. These bonding bills are a waste, because they are filled with loads of pork. Let's hope there are no more downturns in the economy for a long time. Unbelievable.
