Thank you.
You made a statement that I was going to quote, so you're a little bit ahead of me. It's what Senator Sinclair said about the fact that people have a hard time understanding systemic discrimination and systemic racism. He said that “systemic racism is the racism that's left over after you get rid of the racists”. Then he talks about the justice system and he says that we will still have racism perpetuated by the justice system “because the justice system follows certain rules, procedures, guidelines, precedents, and laws that are inherently discriminatory."
I'm trying to figure out what we can do at the national level. Is there something similar within an education system...? When you look at all of our recommendations, we talk about a national action plan and we talk about a big education plan, but for me, if there are some inherent systemic issues around discrimination within the actual education system, is there something that we need to do to try to draw those out and try to fix them as we're trying to come up with an education plan?
