Review Quotes

Paslay provides a thorough exposition and measured critique of the new ideology that has colonized the minds of America's school administrators and threatens to wreak havoc on our students--especially students of color. It's a must-read for any parent or teacher who is concerned about the soul of the next generation.

Paslay's thorough review of attitudes and actions associated with whiteness studies and racism give voice to all sides of diversity and pluralism so that we, as a nation, can continue the ongoing conversation about how to treat each other with the respect ALL humans deserve.

This is a brave book. Paslay reveals and cuts through the endless layers of antiracist gospel which, in the name of enlightenment, leave one cohort of brown kids after another uneducated. Aspiring teachers seeking clear eyes and genuine progressivism should start by inhaling this book.

This well-researched, well-argued, and thoughtful book provides a clear and comprehensive account of how the theory of white fragility is dividing rather than uniting American society and America classrooms. A must-read.
