Two articles that discuss this topic are “TV’s New Wave of Women: Smart, Strong, Borderline Insane” by Heather Havrilesky and “Male-Bashing on TV” by Michael Abernathy. In Havrilesky’s article, she talks about how women are portrayed as “crazy” on television…

Equality. An idea that Americans believe is present in today’s society. The truth is that inequality can still be found throughout the US most of which is pertaining to multiculturalism. Racial inequality has come a long way since the 19th century but in no way has it been eliminated from society.

(Nieto, 2012). Educators will need to immerse themselves in cultural experiences, engage in conversations with others from various ethnic groups, and look at education as a holistic approach rather than one size fits all.

Humans already have to go through enough hardships in life, they do not need the extra burden of dealing with racist people telling them they do not belong here. Kids should be taught and given “equal educational opportunity no matter what their race, ethnic background, religion, sex, or whether they are rich or poor, citizen or non-citizen” (Right to an Equal Education 1).
