My monthly reading recap for July is up and these are the three books I read. So you want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo and Dear Madam President by Jennifer Palmieri are two book I hope get added to more reading lists for high school students. They could replace some of the outdated texts and histories that students are currently learning from. Both of these books are the types of books I would have sought out when I was a teenager because I knew there was so much more to our history than I was being taught. I was fortunate to have a few teachers who taught outside the box but there are so many who do not. Oluo talks about the school to prison pipeline in her book and racism that is so rampant in our history and so ingrained in white American culture.
