Milwaukee Public Schools Memo Calls for 'De-centering' Whiteness, Unequal Resource Distribution

The memo, reportedly distributed among the district's schools, encourages educators to dismantle elements of whiteness in their practices and suggests that achieving equity may require an unequal distribution of resources.

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.
