Deletion of Diversity in the classroom

Comment: The nomination was made by a disruptive editor who has been banned.  The topic is highly notable and respectable and there is a vast literature to draw upon.

Moreover, I'd note that this article is the creation of a novice editor, the first and only creation by that editor; such aggressive deletion of material only drives away new editors, and it's general protocol to not to delete such articles, but rather to userfy or, if the topic is notable, keep help improve the article as per . Since te rewriting process has begun, it's fine to leave the essay in the history, as it gives credit to the newcomer for discovering that the topic was missing from Wikipedia
