More on Diversity

I know I keep bringing up bell hooks in this class, but, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have to talk about her again. She suggests that white teachers need to understand their own whiteness in order to discuss race in the classroom. That can mean many different things, but ultimately it means recognizing our privilege honestly and being honest in not knowing and speaking for others. I appreciate Weaver asking WCDs to do just this, although I would have liked to see hooks actually mentioned in the article! Oh well!
