Racism, privilege and colorblindess in the news this week...

The current political state of affairs offers much context for our readings in this course.  I am posting a series of article here that offer case studies of theory in practice.  I am curious to discuss how the theoretical contributions of the authors we have read and discussed thus far -- Johnson, Grinner's SCWAAMP, Delpit, YIA, Armstrong and Wildman, Roose -- inform our thinking and ability to speak in youth spaces about things like #takeaknee or the merits of Dr. Seuss.

This is how THEORY meets PRACTICE.
