Our colleges are stronger when they are racially diverse. And America is stronger because we are tapping into our full range of talent. Today's Supreme Court decision is not the last word.

This ruling from the Supreme Court perpetuates the issues of segregation and polarization in US educational organizations, rather than honing the strengths of our country: Diversity & Innovation Diversity should be explicitly measured as a success indicator. #affirmativeaction

Hispanic families were some of the earliest adopters in making an intentional choice in their children’s choice of school—and they continue to do so. See the data showing high support for #CharterSchools in the Hispanic community #HispanicHeritageMonth bit.ly/3doaXv7

@n0riskn0r3ward @sbkaufman Possibly self-actualization AND achievement could be more practical. I do see where there could be overlap between the problem-solving aspect of math and exploration within self-actualization - the need to seek out and make sense of challenging information.

@sbkaufman Would be interested to hear more about how that would work because I’m picturing my middle school math teacher trying to implement that and the image in my head isn’t looking like it’s going to help me self-actualize

What's your dangerous idea? Mine is that people on opposing political sides should actually attempt to at least understand the perspective of the other side even if they don't agree with it, and not immediately condemn the person but try to at the very least see their worldview.

"The emphasis on the process of learning as opposed to the behavioral outcomes distinguishes experiential learning from the idealist approaches of traditional education and from the behavioral theories of learning created by Watson, Hull, Skinner, and others." (Kolb, 1984)
