OverviewThe system of education in America has been separate and unequal since its inception. The imperfect yet perfect storm of COVID-19 and civil unrest has opened the wounds of inequity and inequality for the world to see. In this season, as our country finds itself at a crossroad where real and authentic change can take place, we face our greatest opportunity. Now is the time for like-minded individuals to connect and urge our country towards a paradigm shift, evolving us from protest to policy. Now is the time for our country to live out the creed of its character by enabling all Americans to embrace the truth that all men are created equal and as such, are afforded the rights of true liberty and justice for all. Now is the time for America to close the achievement gap, the opportunity gap, the wealth gap, and the hope gap. The Reframing of American Education forces us to think and rethink why we inherently do the things we do as it relates to liberty and justice for all. Using the four-pronged approach of Humanistic, Political, Structural, and Symbolic Frames of Education, it challenges the practices and policies in our country. Thereby, serving as a clarion call to right the systemic and systematic wrongs that have been engrained in our society, particularly, to the those have been lost, locked out, and ultimately, left behind.
