  • ... that Noliwe Rooks coined the term "segrenomics" to describe a system of separate, segregated, and unequal education created by the privatization and deregulation of American public education? Source: "She introduces the term segrenomics, which she defines as “the business of profiting from high levels of racial and economic segregation.” Pointing to the financial success of organizations such as Teach for America (valued at $400 million dollars in 2016), Rooks questions who actually benefits from charter schools, voucher programs, and virtual schooling." (Publishers Weekly) "...coining the term “segrenomics,” she links that [Reconstruction] era to today, when companies and individuals are profiting handsomely from segregated and inequitable education." (Washington Post) "She argues that programs like Teach for America and charter schools depend on racial and economic segregation, what she calls “segrenomics." (New York Times)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new, long enough and sourced. No copyvio on earwig or other issues. Hook is cited and interesting (I removed a redundant word). qpq just needs to be done first. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:41, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The direct quote from Rooks is "separate, segregated, and unequal forms of education" when she defines segrenomics in the Washington Post interview, so it may not be redundant because it sounds like a reference to the separate but equal doctrine and maybe adds to the 'hookiness.' But if it seems redundant, there is a comma that could be removed after the word 'segregated' in the current hook. Beccaynr (talk) 21:56, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realize that @Beccaynr:! I put it back and added a shorter alt just in case. BuySomeApples (talk) 23:20, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, BuySomeApples, and for your review and additions to the article! Beccaynr (talk) 23:25, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're so welcome @Beccaynr: amazing work on the article! BuySomeApples (talk) 03:29, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
BuySomeApples, thank you for your review. I much prefer the hook I provided, as it is using part of a direct quote from Rooks. The word “separate” also more clearly describes the nature of the institutions she is writing about. Thriley (talk) 04:52, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Thriley: that makes a lot of sense! I'm just gonna strike ALT1 in that case. Let me know once the qpq is done because this nom is ready to go.BuySomeApples (talk) 01:31, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
