We stand together as parents and guardians of children impacted by racism, discrimination, and oppression in public schools.

Children who experience trauma do not have the same enriched and robust access to education, and when their school is the perpetrator the issue becomes even more detrimental. All children have a right to fair and equitable access to education.

Education without Oppression was formed to serve the minoritized, marginalized, and dispossessed students and their families who are experiencing or have experienced racialized trauma at the hands of the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD). We have since branched out to support students and their families in all school districts throughout Colorado.

Together, we can make an impact that helps all of our children have healthy, just, and loving academic experiences, by working to ensure that public school districts - including their staff, administrators, policies, and overall design - not only house our children, but affirm, nourish, celebrate, and challenge them to be the brilliant humans they are meant to be. To do that, we are committed to making schools acknowledge the harm upon which their foundation was built and to working diligently to change policies and procedures, so that our children’s fights are different from the fights we have today.

So, welcome to Education without Oppression. We hope that you came here to dream, co-create, and support our cause. If you are a parent whose child was harmed by a school, either through its policies and/or practices, teachers and/or administrators, and/or from their peers/classmates, you have come to the right place.
