"We live in a country that is called the land of the free and the home of the brave. White people are the free and People of Color have to be the brave." ~ Jane Elliott has doing anti-racism education for nearly 50 years. https://t.co/jt2WNcZdMj

"There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning."

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. #JamesBaldwin #education

Excellent article by @pa_homan that advances scholarship on conceptualizing and measuring structural sexism (at macro, meso and micro levels), and how it impacts the health of both women and men!
