[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Is this the sort of value you're looking for in your quest for diversity? Or do you have some sort of bennetton fantasy of little brown and white children playing nicely together under a rainbow while their Asian teacher strums a guitar and sings kumbaya? What, really, do you think this diversity adds to this classroom and the educational experience? I'm genuinely curious, because I often hear this "diversity is important to me" by people who don't really know what it is they're saying or hoping to achieve.[/quote]

Well, not hoping to hear an Asian teacher singing Kumbaya, but I appreciate my children being in a classroom and knowing that all children do not have the same background and opportunities they have. I like that my daughter's version of beauty is not limited to white and blond. I like that my 4th grade daughter, worried about one of her BFFs not being able to have Christmas presents, used some of her Christmas money to make sure the girl (and her sister) had something for Christmas. [u][b]I like both of my kids recognizing the world is a big, complicated place and learning to navigate that[/b][/u].[/quote]

This, especially.
