Overview

• Milwaukee Public Schools has reportedly issued a 33-page memo discussing 'anti-racism' and the need to 'de-center' and 'dismantle' whiteness in education.
• The memo suggests that achieving equity may require an unequal distribution of resources and services to ensure all students have equal opportunities.
• The document encourages educators to reflect on elements of whiteness in their practices and how they can work to dismantle them.
• The memo also includes resources for understanding whiteness and anti-racism, including a video titled 'Whiteness: WTF?'
• The distribution of the memo among the district's 156 schools is unclear, and Milwaukee Public Schools has yet to comment on the matter.
