I have not experienced marginalization as a privileged white American in the middle class. I have never felt discriminated against in school, while applying for jobs, or living in my community. In my classroom, I would like to think that my kids do see themselves reflected in our curriculum, but I am sure I can do better. I think we have made some great changes to the literature that we are exposing our young students to. I know my own children have read literature and received lessons that were much more accurate than when I was in school. I think our district is trying to make these small changes in the right direction but we still have more work to do.
