And Gender

In Christian, private, and public schools, Black boys are forced to endure educational environments that promulgate the stereotype of their supposed intellectual inadequacy and “troublesome” behavior. Deficit-based narratives, fueled by historical racist and sexist stereotypes, contend that Black boys are deviant, disengaged, disruptive, undisciplined, unintelligent, problematic, confrontational, threatening, and difficult to teach – all in a place that should be safe and affirming – schools. In this article, we examine how racial and gender stereotypes reify the educational plight of Black boys, and negatively influence key educational foci, including teacher expectations, pedagogy, curricula, institutional climate/culture, student assessment, and disciplinary matters.

Physical Findings

That the speech clinician can play an important role in the identification and referral of clients with certain syndromes is exemplified in this case report. Speech and structural deviations in a client seen in the Osseo, Minnesota, Public Schools prompted referral to the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Although the structural deviations were of minimal significance for speech production, the combination of physical findings led to the diagnosis of a rare syndrome of oligodontia, taurodontism, and facial features of ectodermal dysplasia. The dental and genetic significance of these findings are discussed.
