Abstract | Guided by a general critique that asks, Highly qualified for whom?, I problematize recent characterizations of highly qualified mathematics teachers by focusing on the question, Who should teach mathematics to African American children? I discuss how responses to this question in mainstream mathematics education research and policy contexts have drawn on discursive frames that support colorblind racism, that focus only on achievement outcomes, and that propose 'missionaries' and 'cannibals' as the kinds of teachers most appropriate for African American children. I propose a refocusing of mathematics education research and policy that gives meaningful attention to the ways that African American children experience mathematics in schools and life as African Americans.
