I recent moved to Westland, Michigan where I am trying to apply for a lend teacher position. I feel the move would be great for me and my son but as I interview for certain position I deeply feel that racism is playing a real huge part. Most of the schools I looked at was predominantly white schools. I personally do not fear the threat but if I can never get in the door to prove myself how will I ever get to prove it to the children and the centers I want to work for.
I wander if the school feel this way how would the families feel about me being black teaching their children. It is sad to still have this as an issue but I guess we will always have the racism card going. As a parent I want my son to precede to going to the best of schools and I as a parent will not be stereotyping if it is a black or white teacher I just want whatever the teacher to teach from an anti-bias point of view.
