A Revolution of Values: Chapter 2 in Teaching to Trangress

Wow. So, 1:I loved the story that this author brought to the table about her white male friend and what she had to go through when she was only 16, I thought it was so moving. 2:There was a quote on page 28 that just stuck out to me that totally gave me goosebumps... "those of us who experience any form of assault are more likely to be victimized by those who are like us rather than by some mysterious strange outsiders" which rings so true. 3:I totally agree with the author when she says people who think that there are no prejudices and or racisms in the world are lying or are in denial because racisms and prejudices do exist, and probably sadly always will. 4: Lastly, the sad truth that this author brings up is even though every is entitled to the same education, it doesn't mean everyone is given the same opportunities and still to this day not everyone recieves the same education and its due to racial discriminations and prejudices. This article was a really good one to read that I can totally agree with and understand where this woman is coming from because we learn in our classes how the educational system is skewed and twisted and this woman makes valid points to back up what we have been learning a lot about in our bilingual classes, but in a way where we are trying to learn how to fix this problem and promote a change in the educational system so that everyone can recieve the same opportunities.
