[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The academy has done humankind a great service by making people more aware of perspectives/lens, but they haven’t done a great job in helping people, especially non-college teachers, apply that understanding. For example, depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, some perspectives/methods/ways are more helpful than others. So, if I’m trying to get from NOVA to DC, there may be various routes, but depending on my criteria/constraints, some paths may be better. Do I want the fastest route? The most scenic? The shortest? Similarly, we can think about what we want our schools or government to accomplish. Depending on those goals, some paths are better. All that said, it is not fair to ask kids younger than middle school to contemplate these issues and trade offs. Science/psychology and most traditional societies identify the age of accountability as 12 or older. [/quote]

So maybe ask yourself what “we” wanted our schools to accomplish — and what impact those so-called “facts” and “truths” had and have on non-white kids under 12. [/quote]
