Today, a prevailing stereotype holds that the opt-out movement predominantly mobilizes white, middle-class, and suburban parents and is therefore a force for educational privilege, not equity. However, this stereotype has never been rigorously tested and it is still an open question as to how opt-out movement participants differ from non-participants, especially along the lines of race and class. Leveraging a comprehensive quantitative dataset of New York school district opt-out rates and community characteristics as well as original case study data collected from four purposefully sampled New York school districts, this study uncovers evidence challenging the dominant narrative of opt-out participation. It finds that the opt-out movement has been active across a diversity of district contexts and, with only small qualifications, has simultaneously mobilized a diverse cross section of parents within districts. However, the most active and longest-tenured opt-out parents do appear to be whiter and wealthier than the  \nmovement as a whole. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for our understanding of the U.S. opt-out movement as well as the potential of grassroots educational activism to be a force for equity and inclusion in U.S. education politics more generally.  \nKeywords: opt-out movement; social movements; grassroots activism; education politics; inclusion  \nIgualdade, inclusão e o movimento de opt-out: Quem escolhe o opt-out?  \nResumo: Há um debate em andamento nos EUA sobre quão diverso, inclusivo e equitativo o movimento de exclusão – e o ativismo educativo de base mais amplamente – tem sido na última década. Ainda é uma questão em aberto como os participantes do movimento opt-out diferem dos não participantes, especialmente ao longo das linhas de raça e classe. Aproveitando un conjunto de dados quantitativos abrangente das taxas de desativação do distrito escolar de Nova York e características da comunidade, bem como dados de estudos decaso originais coletados de quatro distritos escolares de Nova York, este estudo revelaevidencias que desafiam a narração dominante de participación de não participação. Constata que o movimento de opt-out tem estado ativo numa diversitye de contextos distritais e, comapenas pequenas qualificações, mobilizou simultaneamente um conjunto diversificado de pais dos dentro distritos. No entanto, os pais opt-out mais ativos e mais antigos parecem ser mais brancos e mais ricos do que o movimento como um todo. Este artículo concluyó discutiendocomo implicações dessas descobertas para a comprensão do movimento de opt-out dos EUAy do ativismo educativo de base como força para a equidade e a inclusão na política educacional dos EUA.  \nPalavras-chave: movimiento de opt-out; movimientos sociales; ativismo de base; política educativa; inclusión  \nIgualdade, inclusão e o movimento de opt-out: Quem escolhe o opt","cbCaiq21SEa3HMmp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq21SEa3HMmp","pdf",547266,29,"English","# Equality, Inclusion, and the Opt-Out Movement: Who Chooses to Opt Out?\n## Abstract\n## Keywords","[{\"question\":\"What stereotype about the opt-out movement does the study address?\",\"answer\":\"The study addresses the stereotype that the opt-out movement is mainly driven by white, middle-class, suburban parents, making it a force for educational privilege rather than equity.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the research investigate who chooses to opt out?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a comprehensive quantitative dataset on New York school district opt-out rates and community characteristics, along with original case-study data from four purposefully sampled New York districts.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study conclude about opt-out participants compared with the movement as a whole?\",\"answer\":\"The opt-out movement is active across diverse district contexts and, with only minor qualifications, mobilizes a diverse set of parents; however, the most active and longest-tenured opt-out parents appear to be whiter and wealthier than the movement overall.\"}]","Equality, Inclusion, and the Opt-Out Movement: Who Chooses to Opt Out? | PDF",1792094072,73]
