Education policy people, this fight over what counts as the nation's history is not just about historians. With great co-authors (Leana Cabral, @esthercyna.bsky.social, Michael Hines, @mgardnerkelly.bsky.social) I got to write and think about how ideas about the past shape ed policy. Timely!

This chapter examines varying kinds of interaction between education policy and history to
argue that U.S. education policy has long been influenced by false and distorting views of the past.
This is true across many areas of education policymaking, but we argue that it is most visible—
and perhaps has been most powerful—in policymaking about the education of Black students. U.
S. education policy has often been built on ideas of African American lives and communities, and

of the nation as a whole, that minimize Black educational striving and accomplishment and trade
on pathologizing views of Black families in the past and present. These narratives often ignore the
multiple policy mechanisms that help create, undergird, and sustain educational inequality that
harms Black students and poor students and their families while allowing resource hoarding by
White and wealthier families. It does not have to be this way. Education policy can turn to more
factually sound interpretations of the past. We show that recent work in African American
educational history and the history of racism in U.S. education can provide an accurate base for,
and help inform and shape, current policymaking
