Question five is a hard question in today's political climate- especially in education where what we "can" or "do" teach in a state such as NY is very different than some of the more Southern states. We have to be very careful about how our students, and in turn their parents, interpret some of the things we talk about or say in class due to the many different perspectives on this. Personally, I do agree that we need to incorporate diverse historical perspectives simply because it is important to understand that people have different experiences depending on their own upbringing, trauma, life's events, and even identity and by teaching the idea of differing perspectives on events, we can show the idea of subjective vs. objective POV.
Number 6: Who is on your “free pass” list is interesting because I tend to give older people a free pass when it comes to some of their bias and thinking. I see myself saying "Well, they're just older" or "they haven't experienced this" more often when it comes to the elderly and given them a pass for some of their bias/ignorance.
Number 7: When do you tend most toward non-acceptance and judgment? I find myself being more non-acceptant or judgemental when I hear other people make generalizations about groups, especially when it comes to people having more traditional viewpoints on gendered roles. I role my eyes or get more offended when people have the perspective that women belong in the home, or aren't as "strong", etc compared to men. I have a few family members that fall into this category and I find myself paying closer attention to what they say when talking about women's roles and probably are more judemental of them.
