After today, I wanted to share something that I know most of you have probably seen (I've watched this at least three times in the past two weeks), but I'm sure we can agree it has some valid points that should be acknowledged more than once. Like naming your pet dinosaur Reginald.
Personally, I felt our discussion in class today was difficult and challenging, but ultimately it was productive. I'm glad to be part of a classroom environment that where people respect each other enough to be open and honest about situations like the one we dealt with today. I know for a lot of us (myself included) we struggle with associating our identity and culture to the curriculum we are learning, but isn't that going to be our job one day? If you feel like you don't have culture or your culture isn't important, remember that because I have no doubt there will be students in your classroom that feel the same exact way.
BE MORE AWESOME.
