I question whether race intentionally — alone — as you set it up, is a meaningful strategy of change. That is, in light of the racial and linguistic shifts in schools, why is race intentionally as a practice the one to forward rather than, for example, explicitly anti-racist pedagogies? Will race intentionally shift language ideologies in equitable directions? Another point worth considering in this regard is the need to resist a hard distinction between educators who are race evasive and race intentional. The second wave of critical whiteness studies explicitly resists the either/or framing of whiteness and white folks. I recommend you draw more deeply on this body of work to highly how race evasiveness and intentionality among educators is complex, shifting, and contextual – most certainly not an either/or practice.
