Critical Analysis and Critical Consciousness of the “What Is” Reality of Students "of color".

I am excited to have a space to exercise critical voice concerning the realities of the twenty-first century in reference to high school students “of color”. I share the same preoccupation that many critical educators have about minority students who are overrepresented in lower tracked high school classes. Mentally undernourished students are typically classified and stigmatized with dehumanizing labels. Historically, labels have been used to paralyze minority student spirits and leave their minds in temporary or long-term hibernation. I believe in order to combat minority underachievement we must maintain a vigilant critical mindset and change the “What Is” reality.
