New I. White Supremacy Culture
14 The National Education Association believes that, in order to achieve racial and social justice, educators must
15 acknowledge the existence of White supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural
16 racism, and White privilege. Additionally, the Association believes that the norms, standards, and organizational
17 structures manifested in White supremacy culture perpetually exploit and oppress people of color and serve as
18 detriments to racial justice. Further, the invisible racial benefits of White privilege, which are automatically
19 conferred irrespective of wealth, gender, and other factors, severely limit opportunities for people of color and
20 impede full achievement of racial and social justice. Therefore, the Association will actively advocate for social
21 and educational strategies fostering the eradication of institutional racism and White privilege perpetuated by
22 White supremacy culture. (2018)
