To that end, we observe what we are calling two “pedagogies in the meantime” that characterize this experimental work: comparison and prefiguration. We conclude by briefly reflecting on what these pedagogies mean for restorative justice as a field in legal education going forward. 4/4

We find that restorative justice teachers today, by contrast, are more capaciously asking how students' efforts to reconfigure their conflict practices in the classroom through experiential education and clinical opportunities can open plural pathways to legal experimentation and social change. 3/4

In a moment when restorative justice stands poised to mainstream in U.S. and Canadian legal education, our paper recalls the intellectual history of ADR as a comparative tale. ADR teachers' embrace of the state legal system facilitated its uptake as a pedagogical field in the 1980s and 1990s. 2/4

At no point did Alito—or any other Republican justice—consider the message it sends to the kids of LGBTQ parents when their peers have to walk out of the classroom to avoid exposure to families like theirs. These children will be the victims of the Supreme Court's decision.

Perhaps the plaintiffs think so. But surely a public education system has no obligation to accommodate such extreme convictions. After all, those other families send their kids to public schools, too. The Montgomery County Board of Education adopted these books specifically so that their curriculum would reflect the diversity of their student body. Why shouldn’t children of LGBTQ+ parents see themselves reflected in classroom literature? And what kind of message does it send when a teacher must excuse other students from class before reading a book that features nontraditional families—or cuts it altogether for fear of provoking a federal lawsuit? Brannen described this stigma as her “great concern.” If the plaintiffs prevail, she told me, the decision will “enable grievous discrimination against LGBTQ families and children.” If schools let children opt out of class to avoid these books, or dump them altogether, it tells a child with LGBTQ+ parents “that there is something wrong with them.” Montgomery County’s school board tried to avoid inflicting such discrimination on its diverse student body. Now the Supreme Court may impose it on the entire country.
