Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal by Bettina L. Love
challenging
informative
reflective

5.0
“Unflinching” is an apt description of Love’s work. This book was part history, part journalism, part education, and part memoir. For anyone who has ever been part of the education system in the U.S. or who has a vote or a voice currently in the U.S. education system (that’s nearly all of us) this is a must read.
Love hold nothing back: Not truth, not political party loyalty, not fear of naming names, not anger at injustice… and yet, she also refuses to hold back on love, repair, and humanity in the process. I appreciate that Love tells a comprehensive history, signals the current state, and also spends as much care dreaming about a hopeful future. Absolutely recommend!
