If educators are aware that certain language, policies, or practices harm students, what responsibility should they be held to, and who should hold them accountable?

Education is not neutral, and ignoring that truth is harming students. In episode 4 of EducationInContext, we expose how political rhetoric, bias, and “dog whistle” language show up inside schools and how they directly impact Black and Brown students. From conversations about immigration and national security to everyday classroom language, what educators say (and don’t say) shapes policy, practice, and student experience. Building on ideas aligned with Ian Haney López, this conversation challenges educators and leaders to confront an uncomfortable reality: If you are aware of harmful systems and still perpetuate them, you are part of the harm.

In this conversation, we discuss:
- How political rhetoric becomes school policy and classroom practice
- The danger of dog whistle politics in education
- Why educators must unlearn bias and interrupt harmful systems
- What it means to truly prepare students for the world they live in
- The responsibility of educators working with Black and Brown children
- Why awareness without action can cause real harm and trauma
