Help wanted – Colorado teachers of color

By editorial board, Denver Gazette

In a perfect world, kids would be colorblind. Neither their own race nor their teacher’s would matter to their education.

Our hope is that society eventually will get to that point, but until it does, some of Colorado’s children of color may be looking for a role model at the head of the class. The premise of a new, potentially groundbreaking endeavor in Colorado Springs is that Black students in particular could benefit greatly if more teachers were Black, as well.
