This week: after the gruesome murder of George Floyd in the streets of Minneapolis at the hands of police officers, mass uprisings have taken over dozens of American cities.

Also, is this yet another reminder of the great, if ignored, failure of America's public schools - the abysmal record they have of addressing racism in majority white schools?
