Abstract
In a nation that is increasingly becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, educational literature and practice still lacks critical investigation of how systems have fared in supporting the success of historically marginalized students of color. Through an examination of contemporary literature using a critical framework, this paper presents overviews of key factors contributing to educational inequities in the education pipeline: historical legislation, funding structures, and psychosocial attitudes and paradigms of educators. Discussion of these elements bears implications for policymakers and educators and renders possibilities for critical analysis-driven change that can foster greater opportunities for educational success for students of color.
