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.

BULLYING & responses to Jonah Mowry
However you feel about the 2012 Superbowl (I'm a Patriots fan myself), it's nice to see a Major League team do their own "It Gets Better" video against bullying…
