Mention the state of Vermont and images of maple syrup, scenic
mountains, and progressive politics come to mind. But in addition
to skiing, farming, and fall foliage, there is also a startling
history of racial and religious intolerance and bigotry. Burlington
is known as the birthplace of John Dewey, whose enlightened views
about education reached far beyond the Green Mountains to impact
schools. Yet there exist many unsavory examples of equitable
education deferred for a small but growing population. Black males,
especially, have not been treated fairly - suffering in silence as
a disproportional number are shunted away from opportunities such
as college-prep courses and instead, into special education, the
principal's office, and out the door due to suspension. This book
seeks to answer the question: What is truly going on for Black
males in Vermont public schools? Only those who were students in
public schools across the state can really answer that question,
and their perspectives help shed light on the condition of Black
males in predominantly white rural spheres experiencing similar
shifts in racial demographics across the nation.
