I really like this chapter. I believe that ignorance is the root of racism. So it makes perfect sense that educators should jump at the oppurtunity to have an impact. Knowing that I, as a teacher, can have a part in broadening the minds of children and reducing prejudices, makes me very excited about teaching. Having multicultural literature and teaching social equality is an area I will stress in my classroom, and will consistently touch on.
