[quote=Anonymous]How can we achieve excellence for all if we don’t consider the experiences, identities, strengths, and opportunities for these students? We are all different and do not have common motivators or connections. The fundamental purpose of equity is to figure out what we do now that may hurt, harm, and not excel our children and then fix it. That is the responsibility of educators- period! How can people be okay mentally and spiritually suggesting that systems ignore the needs of various groups of students? That is insane! White supremacy culture calls for folks to normalize the system as is and not see the impact that our actions, behaviors, choices,  and decisions on certain student groups. It also has folks believing that standards will be lowered. Who ever said that?!?! Misconception and propaganda- period!!! All I will say is that anyone who feels like our kids - all of our kids- don’t deserve us creating systems and structures that support them both systematically and individually- needs to do some serious soul searching. All it takes is one accident or mental alteration to put some folks in a marginalized group. I bet then y’all would believe in providing resources and supports to your children based on their needs! Just some ‘food for thought’![/quote]
