We live in an increasingly pluralistic society. Misunderstandings, structural and unintended bias, and discrimination hamper the ability of teachers and other professionals to successfully serve their students and clients.
Schools fail to educate.
We lose talent. Our inability to affirm diversity in our schools, workplace, and public services adds to inequalities and injustices in the oepration of central political, social and economic institutions. It contributes to social disruption, poverty, violence and civil unrest. It is a blight on our democratic heritage. It is time to do something about it.
