1. I thought it was really telling that when White people try to reject the experiences of people of color, they start reciting research, and that research is written by and about and for other White people. It's like AI feeding on AI-written sources; of course it agrees with itself.
2. I wonder how the pressure to use academic language and behave in a certain way in classrooms plays into the culture of power. I feel like it's a fine line where certain skills (clear communication, critical thinking) are pretty much universally good, but the specific expectations start to carry connotations against certain ways of being.
3. I'm intrigued about the balance between preparing marginalized children to fit into a world vs. teaching them to question the world and "dooming" them to "outsider status." Is there a way to teach them to fit in while also questioning the system? And what does that look like in practice?
