Savannah Shange’s “Progressive Dystopia: Abolition, Antiblackness, and Schooling in San Francisco” explores how educational policies in San Francisco that aim to improve racist teaching practices exacerbate the issue. She explains how the city’s progressive approach fails to address the root issues and paints a picture of how true anti-racist educational practices look. As someone who grew up near SF, it was really interesting to read about her analysis. Typically, the SF city government praises itself as a progressive and anti-racist system, so focusing on its policies’ deficiencies was important for me to read. One question I found myself asking was, “What would it take for SF governments to find fault in their policies and how should they go about finding reliable people to speak on the people of color experience within their communities?”
