We are privileged and blessed to have Dr. David Leonard monthly on the show. Dr. David Leonard is a professor of critical culture, race and gender at Washington State University for the last ten years.
In his first monthly appearance, Dr. Leonard discusses the Duke University study that claims that Black students match the GPA of White students over time because they switch to majors that require less study and have less stringent study requirements.
Dr. Leonard shares his concerns about the assumptions that arise from this study, how the United States university and college system is not fair for Black students and why this is so and the effects of this. He also answers the following questions: Are universities and colleges places of higher learning? What needs to be done about this situation? What can White students and scholars do to stop institutional racism in places of higher learning?
Dr. Leonard also gives a quick take on the current United States Republican party presidential contest. We ask Dr. Leonard: Does the Republican platform represent the opinion of many Americans?
