Jon Shelton, The Education Myth: How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy

views it as weeding out those who were not fit to represent the brand.This book is not intended as a "take-down" of Morehouse or its graduates.Indeed, in providing her brilliant conceptual framework as to what is shaping the actions of the institution, Grundy identifies a path forward.The most hopeful part of her book focuses on the student body, their evolving approach to gender, and how they are clear-eyed about the failings of the administration.Students are demanding more.Her interviews also reveal significant personal growth among some of the graduates who look back with remorse at how they made the campus a less-than-welcoming place for their classmates who did not conform to the expected social or gender norms.One graduate describes arriving on campus as being the first time he experienced the full spectrum of Black manhood, and all of his internalized stereotypes about who Black men are fell away.Grundy exposes the untapped potential of Morehouse to be a place where all Black men, in all their incarnations, can thrive.
