Thought racism was yesterday's news?
A recent report from the Urban Justice Center's Human Rights Project provides a detailed (131 pages), data-rich report looking at race in employment, health, criminal justice, immigration, education, voting rights, domestic violence, housing, and child welfare.
The report looks a lot at schools and education, discussing military recruitment in schools, violence by police/school safety officers, and the school to prison pipeline - (ex: students of color are disproportionately suspended for the same infractions: 8.3 percent of all black students, 4.8 percent of Latinos and 2.5 percent of whites in the 2001 school year.)
Classroom applications: graphing, statistical analysis, rates and percents
