Throughout American history, education has served as an institution
of support, safety, growth, stability, and has risen to serve the
public in times of great national need. In 2020, educational
institutions have demonstrated the strength of schools, the
creativity and innovative practices of educators, and the public's
desire and need for compulsory and higher education to support the
youth of America to lead the nation in new directions. Yet, despite
the work of educators and even entire institutions, schools,
colleges, and universities in the United States are still deeply
flawed and in need of support for continued growth to meet the
needs of the public in the 21st century. We are living in
tumultuous times, whether the challenges come from known enemies,
internal social unrest, vicious politics and lacking leadership,
discrimination in multiple forms, and a global, deadly pandemic,
the difficulties that face members of the American community are
deeply entrenched and are positioned to be a formidable force for
the foreseeable future. Until the institution, its leaders, and
policy-makers acknowledge the relationship between these challenges
and the needs of the youth, education's most important asset, the
teachers, are left to fight a battle that cannot be won by
individual effort. The future of American education depends upon
institutionalized changes in how youth and adults are prepared to
be active, participative, members of society. The works in this
collection highlight vulnerabilities in education, focusing on
matters of social justice; each chapter contributes measures to
confront injustices in education and offers resolutions. The needs
are clear, the works are persuasive, and the recommendations
applicable.
