13:03:52 From Michael Paris to Everyone : Maybe take off the bell when people enter? 13:15:01 From Reginald Davenport to Everyone : Will these slides be made available to the attendees? 13:20:13 From Carol Lynn Patterson to Everyone : Segregation is an institutional and structural sin! (Dr. Francois) 13:24:18 From Patricia Lindsay-Harvey to Everyone : The whole abomination is about fear of losing power and control because black and brown people will be in the majority in this country approximately by 2025. Segregation is being used to keep black and brown people “in their place”. We absolutely CANNOT allow this to continue! 13:25:49 From Michael Paris to Everyone : A fascinating recent discussion of Plessy, Brown, and the rise of “constitutional color-blindness” can be found in Mark Golub, “Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional” (Oxford Univ. Press, 2018). 13:27:07 From RICHARD FAISON to Everyone : Power and Control has always been the Ultimate Mindset!! 13:27:41 From Carol Lynn Patterson to Everyone : Critical Race Theory and the African American an Policy Forum also say a lot about so-called “constitutional color-blindness” 13:29:25 From Lloyd D Henderson to Everyone : NJ has a great constitution but no one takes it very seriously....Myron Orfield, Jr 13:30:42 From Michael Paris to Everyone : Three powerful statements. Thank you all! 13:33:04 From Sandra Mordecai to Everyone : Schools are segregated because neighborhoods are segregated and students have to go to neighborhood schools. 13:34:20 From Olga Correa (She/Her/Hers) to Everyone : Even communities that are majority white are producing racially segregated public schools (including apartheid schools) via practices outside of residential segregation: open enrollment, charter/magnet schools, etc. 13:37:13 From Leslie Wilson to Everyone : ultimately blue collar New Jersey will not have the same educational opportunities and successes that are found in white collar New Jersey. This is based on race and economics 13:40:57 From Nikki Baker to Everyone : Thank you for this is much needed conversation. I hope that this dialogue continues. Wish that a recording could be available for later viewing. 13:40:59 From Carol Lynn Patterson to Everyone : @Leslie - THAT’s the goal! 13:42:22 From Michael Paris to Everyone : Sheff is a great model, and Prof. Brittain was the one of just a few lawyers and activists who fought for it over decades. There was community organizing for years before the case was filed in 1989. 13:44:00 From Scott Cumberbatch to Everyone : VERY true! 13:46:01 From Councilwoman Dr Lilisa Mimms to Everyone : This is a much needed dialogue 13:48:46 From Scott Cumberbatch to Everyone : Say that, Assemblyman Wimberley! 13:50:02 From Michael Paris to Everyone : We have to democratize state politics. NJ isn’t really a democracy now, given the machines that control Camden and Essex Counties. We need a professional legislative body, not one in which members make apx. 40-45 K per year, such that only those who have another source of income can serve. And on and on. 13:50:07 From Nathan Parker to Everyone : Many of the factors described today were clearly evident as I moved from Supt of Schools from Upper Saddle River, to Orange, to Summit, and ending up as Interim in Montclair. Even in Montclair, with in the district, Black and Brown student do not have parity of opportunity. 13:52:44 From Nancy Gagnier to Everyone : Even as we achieve integrated schools and classrooms, Rising housing prices are complicating our efforts to remain a stable integrated community. 13:54:13 From Patricia Lindsay-Harvey to Everyone : Nancy Gagnier, I agree with you, but what is going to happen when the next crush happens which is predicted to happen 2022/2023. 13:56:11 From Michael Paris to Paul Scully(Direct Message) : Congratulations on this one! Very nicely done. 13:56:46 From Myron W Orfield Jr to Everyone : Hearing can be a powerful tool. 13:57:17 From Patricia Lindsay-Harvey to Everyone : Is that hearing open to the public? 13:57:41 From Carol Lynn Patterson to Everyone : @Nancy education and economic justice are inextricably tied to together. So should our efforts be! 13:58:10 From Scott Cumberbatch to Everyone : Is there an email address to send all of this information? 13:58:42 From Shaylynn M. Bivens to Everyone : Aswsumter@njleg.org 13:59:32 From Scott Cumberbatch to Everyone : Thank you! 14:01:23 From Leslie Wilson to Everyone : and each of these districts pay large court fees and yet do the people in these districts know how much their districts are paying this firm for the consultants and the school agreements? 14:01:30 From Nikki Baker to Everyone : Thank youall 14:01:37 From Nikki Baker to Everyone : *all 14:02:01 From Valyrie Laedlein to Everyone : Thank you for this forum.
