Why do white parents dominate media coverage in education when the majority of public school students are students of color? It's past time to #AskParentsOfColor and do better. (CLICK TO TWEET)

Brightbeam CEO Chris Stewart and award-winning educator and activist Nicholas Ferroni are wondering why white parents and their demands seem to dominate media, when students of color are a majority of public school students.

Recognizing that it's well past time to #AskParentsOfColor their thoughts when covering important education issues, we are launching a Twitter chat and we want to hear from you!

Students of color make up the majority of public school students, yet we rarely see their parents/guardians in the media or being interviewed. It is necessary that we listen to parents of color. Thank you @citizenstewart for leading this conversation. #AskParentsOfColor https://t.co/Hs0sLaofw0
