Equity is not about our behavior or strategies, but our beliefs and worldview. We need to do the work of understanding what racism is and how we are part of it before we can teach with equity.

I agree with the article that there needs to be a more deeply understood knowledge of the dynamics of racism in society and school. I can't say that I am "all knowing"...I need more help still.

I agree that there is a lack of understanding of how racism operates, but I'm not sure I think it's due to unwillingness.
