The American Educational System has an equity problem. Black and brown students are still statistically not meeting the education standards as their non-black and brown counterparts. More and more students of color are targeted and fall between the cracks of the educational system. It has become imperative for schools, school districts, state governments, and the national government to begin to take a closer look at the American Educational system and reflect upon its inequalities. If the system is not considered equitable, what needs to be done to make it equitable? The responsibility for making a change in the national school system, is that of everyone. As W.E.B Du bois states “A System Cannot Fail those it was Never Meant to Protect.” The system has failed our black and brown children and it is time to address the issue. The intent of the research is to explore the inequalities of the American Educational system and determine the need for change.
