Over 50 years since the Civil Rights Era, there is perhaps no
issue in American education more intractable or more painful
than the persistent gaps in educational outcomes between black and brown

white peers.
In this episode, Paula Johnson, M.A., discusses these
issues and the potential civil rights red flags that are raised by data showing Hispanic and Black
students across grade levels are one and a half times more likely to be retained
than White students.
