Black male students are not failing school—

school is failing them.

For generations, Black boys have been misunderstood, undervalued, and systematically neglected within America’s education system. Disproportionately disciplined, underrepresented in leadership and advanced coursework, and reduced to narrow stereotypes, they have become the most overlooked population in schools across the country.

In The Forgotten Population, educator and advocate Thaddaeus Peay II exposes how bias, fear, and low expectations shape the educational experiences of Black male students long before they ever step into a classroom. Drawing from history, lived experience, and classroom reality, Peay challenges educators, school leaders, families, and policymakers to confront uncomfortable truths about discipline, value, literacy, and intellectual development.
