| Abstract: | Public education, and society at large, repress exceptional individuals under the guise of not leaving weaker ones behind, pushing every student through the meat grinder at the expense of the gifted. This creates the paradox of an education system in which intelligent students are sentenced to be overlooked by teachers and ostracized by their peers. My paper presents two movies showing young African Americans who are smart and able to succeed overcoming some of the negative stereotypes of popular media. |
