Social Justice in Education Documentary Trailer

This film touches on the lives and experiences of five dynamic educators whose passion for social justice was forged when they were in school. Their personal accounts bear witness to both the overt and subtle forms of injustice that create critical barriers to quality learning and inclusion. Each person enacted their beliefs in equity, access, and respect in order to provide a just and quality education for the learners they serve.
We invite people everywhere to learn from their experiences and see what they can do to make education more just and equitable for all.

Many school systems are corrupt and unethical, and their practices are never addressed. Principals hire teachers out of nepotism, age, color, social status or because they get a financial kickback by contracting young teachers through federal teacher programs so they can pay them less than senior teachers who they pressure out of the system to save more money. Administrators are grossly overpaid and are promoted or secured through social politics. Superintendents and administrators easily network from one school system to another school system and help themselves to more prestige and more money while the teachers continue to be over-worked and underpaid.
