Discrimination in education

Article Evaluation

In this article, there is a section on teacher bias grading, which mentions how teachers are biased towards one group over another. The article briefly mentions teachers discriminating against black students over white students. However, there are no statistics provided, which can be added to the article. Also, there is a section on racism that only mentions minority groups from the Turkish, but adding about minority groups such as African Americans will give more examples of teacher bias in grading as it is a crucial topic and is presented today. Also, the article's content is relevant to the topic because my annotated bibliography was about discrimination in education for African-American students. And this article sparks the topic, yet doesn't provide efficient details. Yes, the article is written neutrally as it focuses on teacher bias in all minority groups. Also, each claim has citations, and these citations are reliable. The article also tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps such as the misrepresented population of African Americans.

Article title

Discrimination based on skin color

Article Evaluation

This article has a section on education that mentions the disparities in education for minority groups. It specifically mentions the disparities that blacks face, however, just like the other article the statistics are incomplete. Also, one of the sections mentions how GPA and advanced classes play a factor in disparities. It only mentions how Hispanics are the only ones who face this challenge of getting into gifted classes but so do African Americans. So, I believe it is important to include how African Americans are excluded from advanced programs, as it is something we can physically see even today. The article, also mentions wealth gap disparities that impact minorities' education, and it is crucial to mention how African Americans face those wealth gap disparities as well. Also, the article is neutrally written as it mentions other minority groups as well. Also, every claim made in the article has citations, and these citations do seem to be reliable, proving that the information provided is well-founded.

Option 3

Article title

Universal access to education

Article Evaluation

This article has a section on education, where it mentions the disparities that cause minorities to have an impact on their education. Although the GPA gap, as mentioned in the article is one of the the disparities, there are other disparities that the article does not succeed in mentioning. One of the things that can be added to the article, is about how African Americans and other minority groups face discrimination in high school. This will give a more in-depth understanding of how the issue is far more than just a knowledge gap. I believe, that this article is relevant to my topic as it mentions disparities that minority groups face when receiving proper education. Also, this article is neutrally written, but not every claim made has citations. However, the citations that are provided do seem to be reliable at most parts.
