American public schooling

Paper must be in APA format. You will only receive full credit if you primarily cite (APA strictly) the textbook (the chapters discussing the group/issues you decide to research upon–each chapter counts as one resource. If you cite 5 chapters, that is five resources), Kumishiro’s Anti-Oppressive Education must be referenced, other appropriate articles and readings from the course, and other text resources are appropriate and should be your “go to” unless you have very good outside sources. The total can be no fewer than 8 written sources (Be careful of websites–Wikipedia will not count).

For example, you may select poverty (sub group: homeless children), religion (subgroup: Hindu), exceptionality (subgroup: autistim), race/ethnicity (subgroup: African-American, Hispanic, etc.), language (subgroup: Spanish, Chinese) or gender (subgroup: girls, gay/lesbian/transgender.). You will report on the group’s history of public schooling/treatment/recognition and their enrollment in public schools.
