What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

America the Beautiful

I am impressed with Coca-Cola.  They will have to move up a notch on my boycott list.  They aired this ad during the 2014 Superbowl.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilxRtxqYWt0&list=PLCIVZWq1FAwcWJmgdF5o3-QTZZ-OnBUgA
