"A powerful, eagerly anticipated exploration (past and present) of white supremacy in the teachings of our national education system, its depth, breadth, and persistence-and how, through generations of our nation's most esteemed educators and textbooks, racism has been insidiously fostered-North and South-at all levels of learning. . In Teaching White Supremacy, Donald Yacovone shows us the clear and damning evidence of white supremacy's deep-seated roots in our nation's education system in a fascinating, in-depth examination of America's wide assortment of texts, from primary readers to college textbooks and other higher-ed course materials. Sifting through a wealth of materials, from the colonial era to today, Yacovone reveals the systematic ways in which white supremacist ideology has infiltrated American culture and how it has been at the heart of our collective national identity. Yacovone lays out the arc of America's white supremacy from the country's inception and Revolutionary years to its 19th century flashpoint of civil war; to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and today's Black Lives Matter. And, the author argues that it is the North, not the South, that bears the greater responsibility for creating the dominant strain of race theory, inculcated throughout the culture and in school textbooks, that restricted and repressed African Americans and other minorities, even as Northerners blamed the South for its legacy of slavery, segregation and racial injustice"--… (altro)

I learned firsthand the reality of Horace Mann's warning when I enrolled in a teacher-training program in the 1970s. My college sent me to a high school in central Connecticut for my first classroom experience on the other side of the teacher's desk... I will never forget the first time I entered the schoolteacher's lounge, a disheartening space with an awkward array of tired, empty seats placed against four walls.... In it sat an orating grandee, likely a department head, whose painfully white skin and frizzy bald head were accentuated by his thick black-rimmed glasses... I could not avoid him, not could I ignore his gesturing arms or her sermon about the white man's burden Then and there, I decided that high school teaching would not be in my future. -Introduction
Samuel Train Dutton was superintendent of schools in Brookline, Massachusetts, when he wrote the ever-popular Morse Speller, which enjoyed in thirteenth edition in 1903.... For all his philanthropy and insistence that American schools teach about slavery and the Civil War, Dutton also asserted that schools must explain "how the ancient Egyptians differed from the Negro and why." Moreover, as he advised teachers, the failures of American missionaries had proved that Native Americans and Africans were fit only for manual labor training, the kind of education appropriate for the "heathen and the savage" as well as the "vicious and defective." The white race must take up these responsibilities as it prime mission. -Chapter 1, The Contours of White Supremacy
