A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Esquire, Elle, Chicago Public Library - LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL

If all children could just get an education, the logic goes, they would have the same opportunities later in life. But this historical tour de force makes it clear that the opposite is true: The U.S. school system has played an instrumental role in creating and upholding racial hierarchies, preparing children to expect unequal treatment throughout their lives.

In Original Sins, Ewing demonstrates that our schools were designed to propagate the idea of white intellectual superiority, to "civilize" Native students and to prepare Black students for menial labor. Education was not an afterthought for the Founding Fathers; it was envisioned by Thomas Jefferson as an institution that would fortify the country's racial hierarchy. Ewing argues that these dynamics persist in a curriculum that continues to minimize the horrors of American history. The most insidious aspects of this system fall below the radar in the forms of standardized testing, academic tracking, disciplinary policies, and uneven access to resources.

By demonstrating that it's in the DNA of American schools to serve as an effective and underacknowledged mechanism maintaining inequality in this country today, Ewing makes the case that we need a profound reevaluation of what schools are supposed to do, and for whom. This book will change the way people understand the place we send our children for eight hours a day.

Quick drying, non sticky lotion!
Color: Medium Glow
Great even color and dries immediately. This formula is not sticky at all. The color may not be as dark as the gel or foam, but is very natural.

Unbeatable Value for the Price!!
I’m so impressed with the packaging of this kit! It came with the cutest little bag, perfect for the pool or beach. The product sizes are much larger than I expected, and the mitt is excellent quality. I haven’t tried everything yet, but I’m really excited to. For the price, this kit is a fantastic value considering how much you get! One small note: the “Gimme the Glow Down” spray could’ve been filled a bit more (see photo). I did test a quick spritz on my face, it felt refreshing, but did have that classic self-tanner scent and left a slight sticky residue. Nothing major, though. I’ll update once I see the full results on other products! UPDATE: I LOVE THESE PRODUCTS! The tan is so even and gives a great glow to my skin. I wash my face twice a day so I use the glow down spray to refresh the tan. I used this self tanner for my engagement photos and it looked like I just came from the beach! (See last photo)

Dark coloring but very streaky and stains easily.
Color: Medium Glow
While it does darken the skin one has to be VERY careful when putting it on. It does stain and it is very streaky and it does stink after wearing it a while so the smell is rather yucky and they advertise that it is not. I had streaks everywhere and unevenness so I ended up ordering a glove to apply it with hoping that will do a better job. I have not tried it yet but am probably going to return one of the 2 bottles I received and hope for a partial refund.

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.
