Episode notes

In 2021 you released this study called collective racial bias and the black white test score gap. Can you talk about what you found in that study? We've long known that racial test score disparities exist. They've existed for as long as we've had reliable data to study them. So, learning how much racial bias exists within a community tells us about as much about the blackwhite test score gap as knowing black white differences in family income.

This Juneteenth, we’re sharing an episode of The Weeds, a Vox Media podcast where host Jonquilyn Hill breaks down the policies that shape our lives.

This episode digs into school discipline and the achievement gap with Francis Pearman of Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education. For many Black children, their first encounter with the discrimination that will trail them their whole lives comes from the school system — a system where they are five times more likely to attend a segregated school than their white counterparts.

Kara & Nayeema will be back Thursday with a fresh episode of ON.
