Component 1: Fulfillment of Education Rights
Task: Examine the fulfillment of education rights for the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers.
Introduction: Begin by introducing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which both list education as a fundamental human right. Provide a brief overview of how these documents conceive of the right to an education, focusing on concepts such as equality vs. equity and social reproduction theory.
Discussion: Discuss whether the United States has fulfilled these educational rights for the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers in Ain’t No Makin’ It. Examine how systemic socio-economic barriers, zero-tolerance policies and subtractive schooling practices impact their educational opportunities. Use examples from course materials to illustrate how social reproduction theory applies to their situations and how their aspirations and expectations are shaped by the educational environment.
