 Family (Dis)Advantage and the Educational Prospects of Better Off African
American Youth: How Race Still
Matters<http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=12800>
by Travis L. Gosa & Karl L. Alexander
 Through an interpretative review of relevant literatures, this article
examines family, neighborhood, school, and societal factors that pose
formidable barriers to the academic and personal development of middle class
African American youth, the closing of the black-white achievement gap, and
the preservation of African American family advantage across generations.

 Commentaries
 Obama, Education Policy, and the Allure of a Post Race America
America<http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=15451>
by Andrea Kayne Kaufman
While the idea of a Post Race America is alluring and certainly desirable,
as a school law attorney and professor in graduate education, the use of
this language concerns me. This is because the notion of a Post Race America
has also been used by many to undermine education law enacted to overcome
the vestiges of years of institutional racial discrimination. Many opponents
of desegregation and affirmative action, for example, have used some
articulation of a Post Race America to support their arguments against
important measures to ensure equality in public education. Slavery and
segregation no longer matter they say and we who are fighting for racial
equality are actually perpetuating racial discrimination by continuing to
live in a world that has long past.
  The Amethyst Initiative: Rethinking the Drinking
Age<http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=15452>
by John M. McCardell, Jr.
This essay explores the cases for and against the 21 year-old drinking age
and explains why the time has come to reconsider how well we have been
served by the current law.

 Reverence in Classroom
Teaching<http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=15446>
by Jim Garrison & A.G. Rud
 This article defines reverence, explores it as a cardinal and forgotten
virtue, considers how the virtue of reverence is supported by appropriate
classroom ritual and ceremony, and discusses several examples of reverence
and irreverence in classroom teaching.


 Pedagogical Possibilities: Engaging Cultural Rules of
Emotion<http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=15455>
by Michelle Knight-Diop & Heather A. Oesterreich
 This study draws on multicultural feminist theories to examine the integral
role of emotions as a site of knowledge in the complex social dynamics of a
heterogeneous group of graduate students in education. Within a pedagogy of
(dis)comfort and a pedagogy of challenge, four prevalent patterns of
emotional selectivity reveal how emotions as a site of knowledge create
possibilities of change and transformation as well as the maintenance of the
status quo of educational inequalities.
