classrooms are not immune to this belief and consequently represent “the very real threat of epidemic unconscious racism” in the school system. The more than two million white female teachers in U.S.
White and nonwhite teachers consciously or subconsciously apply this thinking while “miseducating” Black students. Gibson collates his observations in the book, “The Monsters We Make: Unconscious Racism and Stereotype-based Teacher Expectations in the 21st Century Urban Classroom.” His thesis is that the system of white supremacy successfully convinces nearly everyone that Black people are intellectually defective. The safety and order of the learning environment reinstated by removing Black boys and girls. School suspensions, “special-needs” designations and even police officials are regularly marshaled in response to white female teachers in distress. An author, teacher and founder of KITABU Publishing, Gibson submits that the phobia of his white female colleagues profoundly undermines the performance of Black children. “The white female teacher tends to be very afraid of the Black male student, whether they’re explicitly afraid or there’s more of an unconscious fear,” concludes Joseph Gibson. Lucy Michael, a white woman and sociologist at Ulster University, writes that when standing before Black pupils, white women are “not blind to their own cultural practices but deeply committed to them.” From the days of shackles and auction blocks to today’s mobile phones and Wi-Fi, white fear of Black people continues to justify any act of violence to ensure Black obedience. The 1955 murder of Black teenager Emmett Till is a permanent reminder of the swift, and potentially lethal, retaliation when a white woman alleges “Negro” mischief. Stein reminds us that, “White women were not simply passive victims whose image was invoked in lynching rhetoric.” They were consistent accomplices in the ritualistic lynchings of Black males, who were often tortured and killed for alleged transgressions against white women. The idea that white supremacy is exclusively the paradigm of white males is false. The overwhelming numerical presence of white women teachers strongly indicates that they play an out sized role in the criminalization of Black children. An assortment of parents, activists and politicians concur with former Attorney General Eric Holder’s assessment that an appalling number of schools fail to offer Black children “pathways to success rather than pipelines to the criminal justice system.” The Department of Education’s 2016 report reveals that more than 80 percent of public school teachers are white, the supermajority of them female. One widely circulated selfie reportedly shows nearly two dozen white women teachers exhibiting their support for “New York’s finest.” This image best illustrates the center of the school-to-prison pipeline, designed to fast track large populations of Black boys and girls from elementary school to incarceration. Despite requests from the United Federation of Teachers that educators refrain from wearing potentially inflammatory apparel to school, a substantial number of NYC teachers modeled NYPD T-shirts while preparing for a fresh class of students.
