Abstract
The alleged inferiority of teaching staffs in segregated inner-city schools has become a matter of widespread concern. Ghetto schools have been accused of putting a premium on brutality and oppression as well as harboring less qualified and occupationally unstable teachers.1 Carmichael and Hamilton's2 concept of institutional racism promises to lend some useful insights. They define the concept as follows: 'Respectable' individuals can absolve themselves from individual blame: they would never plant a bomb in a church; they would never stone a black family. But they continue to support political officials and institutions that would and do perpetuate institutionally racist policies. Thus, acts of overt, individual racism may not typify the society but institutional racism doeswithin the support of covert, individual attitudes of racism.
