BEST 2017 FILMS, SCIENCE BOOKS AND FILMS
“A powerful documentary. I highly recommend this film to educators and students. Stolen Education provides a historical foundation for understanding current forms of racism that continue to operate in our schools and shape the educational experiences of our children. Stolen Education demands educators take a serious look at current policies that continue to underserve and marginalize students of color and linguistic minorities.”
–Charise Pimentel, Assistant Professor, Dept of Curriculum and Instruction, Texas State University
"
Highly recommended. An outstanding resource and professional development tool for teacher education programs and educators at every level. In the broader context,
Stolen Education is a powerful reminder that discrimination under the guise of 'doing what’s best for them' reaps discouragement and hardship."
–Educational Media Reviews Online
