Overview

The Brown Boy Crisis takes educators, graduate students, scholars, and policymakers inside the minds of a group of learners who fail to overcome the racial barriers schools often have in place to stumble their academic success. Thought to be monolithic learners, African, Hispanic, and Native American males-the brown boys-have the highest dropout rates. They are the most disproportionately under-served students in our schools. Yet, they are the first to be suspended, disciplined, medicated, micromanaged, held back a grade level, and assigned to special education classes. The school experiences of brown boys have metastasized into a national crisis. The Brown Boy Crisis describes the enormous diversity among these three groups of male learners. It explores the hidden agendas of school culture and misinformation that fuels their higher retention and dropout rates.

"""A book that needs to be written and thankfully has been written!"" Congratulations to Robert Woods! -Roger Yockey: School of Journalism (Marquette University, Indiana University) ""The Brown Boy Crisis"" just arrived from Amazon yesterday and I'm 70 pages in. It's a well-researched and wonderfully written treatise on how our schools (and societal institutions in general) are systematically failing BIPOC students and how we'd be better if we set up systems to aid them in succeeding. Pick it up. Congrats Robert Woods on a job well done!"" -Cameron Keiber: Artist and Musician ""This book is an awesome read. It talks about young male people of color and how they are treated in public schools. The education system needs to do better with brown (people of color) male students. Overall, I loved reading this book."" -Anthony West: Disabled U.S. Army Veteran"
