In the classroom all students should feel included and equal. A student’s ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, or a multitude of other differences should be embraced and welcomed. The artists or the athletes, the scholars or the dreamers, all need to feel equal in their school setting. There needs to be resources available to support the diversity of our youth, such as GSA’s, mental health supports, etc.. We need to ensure that we remove any barriers that prevent a student from learning and to provide an open and caring atmosphere.
