Faculty members from the Educational Foundations program of the
College of Education and Community Innovation invite the Grand Valley
community to a virtual screening of a CBS documentary on how and when
race should be taught in schools.
The event begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 31.
The documentary, “What Should We Teach?” focuses on the recent
actions by school districts to ban books and states’ legislation to
curb the teaching of “divisive concepts” and override educators’
expertise in K-12 education.
A Q&A session will follow the screening featuring Dorinda Carter
Andrews, professor of race, culture and equity at Michigan State
University; Kefentse Chike, professor of African American studies at
Wayne State University; and Chastity Pratt, education bureau chief at
the Wall Street Journal.
Participants spent 10 weeks in an accelerator program offered by the DeVos Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, in partnership with GVSU's Northern Michigan Region.
