Abstract (type = abstract)
In a nation founded upon race, freedom, and justice for all, African Americans still find themselves collectively marginalized by a complex web of systems functioning in a synchronized manner to thwart their attainment of wealth. The concepts of racism and racial discrimination have been persistently interwoven within the fabric of this society, pervading public and social institutions such as healthcare, education, economics, entertainment, labor, law, and politics (Fuller, 1964). The Wizard of Oz Effect unpacks the pretention that equality insofar as education and wealth attainment does or can exist in an inherently racist society. Political policies such as redlining and restrictive covenants have undergirded unfair housing and anti-voting tactics, which in turn reinforce unequal schooling (Orfield, 2013). President Nixon’s Drug War in the 1970’s had an enormous and deleterious effect on the Black community, the likes from which it has still not recovered. Political decisions by lawmakers and socially constructed attitudes about White racial superiority drive the continued dilemma of inequity pervasive in schools and workplaces. Guided by the central question, “What is the intersection between race, institutional racism, and education in America?” this study is intended to be a critical analysis of political ideologies and how they filter down into society to produce educational and opportunity gaps which invariably translate into significant wealth gaps between European and African Americans. These relationships are examined through the sociopolitical record, highlighting federal laws and critical events using primary and secondary source documents including legislative texts, court decisions, news accounts, documentaries, periodicals, and previous investigations. Philosophical models such as Critical Race Theory and Culturally Relevant Pedagogy are operationalized as tools to analyze attitudes, behaviors, and decisions made in the society pertaining race and education. The cost of racialized inequality is also explored in a discussion about extreme imbalances of poverty and social dysfunction which are two resulting forces of a society so entrenched in the problem of race.
