One of its guiding principles is attending to systemic power dynamics to ensure educational policies and practices are equitable and just for students across the intersections of race, ability, ethnicity, gender identity, religion (or spiritual preference), economic status, sexual orientation, nation of origin, age, and immigration status (SWIFT Education Center, 2025) . That is, school systems must work to ensure that those who are closest to their systemic inequities are afforded the right toreauthor rights in ways that co-create a culture of belonging and justice. This brief explains what it means to reauthor rights, how this may occur, and several contrasting examples of systems that extend rights and systems in which those rights are reauthored.  \nReauthoring Rights  \nConsider how an education system might build systemic equity viareauthored, rather than extended, rights, that, in turn, shift the day-to-day power dynamic in the school.  \nFirst, consider what happens when those in power, such as a predominantly white school board and administration, extends rights to such groups as students of color, those identified with a disability, English Learners, and the LGBTQIA+ student community. These educational leaders often perceive their “hospitality” differently than the student groups experiencing it.  \nThe widely held perception is that caring education professionals are inviting these students into the main school culture and academics as an  \nact of compassion, leading to experiences of opportunity and success. The lived reality is that the group with systemic power (education professionals) extends that invitation with often unidentified, impersonal, or even unintentional expectations of groups that lack systemic power (students, families, communities) .  \nThe professionals expect the invited groups to quickly and gratefully assimilate into mainstream school culture and curriculum, even though it has been historically oppressive to them. In this way, the professionals are making access to opportunity and success contingent on their acceptance of these students. That is, this approach makes education professionals the ultimate gatekeepers of student experience within learning spaces.  \nIn the table below, contrast how those in power think that extending rights works, and how those who experience extended rights actually experience it.  \n\n| How those in power think extending rights works: | How extending rights really works for those not in power: |\n| --- | --- |\n| Caring and compassionate educators invite minority students into mainstream school culture and academics. | Caring and compassionate educators are hosts that hold the power to invite or deny students access as guests in the system. |\n| Students will then feel welcomed and comfortable. | Students carry the burden of finding a way to assimilate, or suffer rejection or punishment. |\n| If students work hard enough, they will achieve and meet their academic goals. | Acceptance often necessitates hiding authentic identities and cultural links. |\n| Opportunity and success awaits. | Opportunities are only extended to those that are accepted. |\n\nFollowing are a few examples of what is meant by extending rights, and why these actions fall short of a culture of rightful presence.  \n• A transgender student is cast in a school play as a main character, but is encouraged to play the role in a more traditionally gendered way so as not to “upset” the audience.  \n• African-American students form a Black Student Union at their school, but remain unrecognized by other school groups and faculty because their platform is seen as too divisive.  \n• A student with autism that engages in stimming behaviors, such as humming or repetitive noises, is invited into a general education classroom during certain times in the day ","cbCaimgcYuvrgVxa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimgcYuvrgVxa","pdf",183793,"English","# Reauthoring Rights in Education Systems\n## Rightful presence and systemic power dynamics\n## Extending vs. reauthoring rights\n## Examples of extending rights and their limits\n## Reauthoring rights through allyship and shared participation","[{\"question\":\"What does “reauthoring rights” mean in education systems?\",\"answer\":\"Reauthoring rights shifts participation from being granted as access by those in power to co-created involvement where students’ identities and experiences shape learning practices.\"},{\"question\":\"How is “extending rights” different from “reauthoring rights”?\",\"answer\":\"Extending rights is often framed as hospitality that invites assimilation into mainstream culture, making success contingent on acceptance.
