Summary
This chapter asks, How might racial justice be pursued in educational contexts? For example, do racial disparities in quality of treatment in schools require that all students experience the treatment previously reserved for the relatively (racially) advantaged, or should expectations be shifted toward some new standard for all? In order to better engage issues and appropriately address them with a mind to future interventions and continued progress, this chapter argues that it is necessary to clarify the confusions present in much of the discourse surrounding race and educational ethics.
