"Relevance and responsiveness do not guarantee in stance or meaning that one goal of education program is to maintain heritage ways and to value cultural and linguistic sharing across difference to sustain bi- and multilingualism and bi- and multiculturalism. "

"White supremacy no longer looks special to Whites, especially when we remember that they have lived through it all their lives. It becomes the norm" (Gilborn, 2011). A lot of the time, people get blind sided when they are presented with the task of choosing between the norm and a new approach. A move towards anti oppression seems to be taking place but Paris (2012) questions hoe relevant and responsive this approach actually is, stating that even though efforts were made to focus on marginalised societies, the trend showed that people of dominant culture usually got their way as a consequence.

"People of color who accept the abolition of Whiteness would contemplate the end of racial otherness and its centrality for their identity and history. ... People will be neither White nor of color, but free (Leonardo, 2013)." as compared to "Culturally sustaining pedagogy seeks to perpetuate and foster - to sustain - linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as part of the democratic project of school (Paris, 2012)."

According to  Kumashiro (2011, P.  34), the knowledg that should be learned is not something that fill the empty spaces of students: “All of this is not to say that teaching about the Other and amplifying voices of the Other should be avoided. Rather, the uses of such lessons should be reconsidered. Learning about and hearing the Other should be done not to fill a gap in knowledge (as if ignorance about the Other were the only problem), but to disrupt the knowledge that is already there (since the harmful/partial knowledges that an individual already has are what need to change) (Luhmann, 1998).”

Also, the result of the lessons about Others is not knowing some fact or truth, but “to put it another way, lessons about the Other should not aim to tell students the truth about the Other. Rather, lessons about the Other should be treated as both catalysts and resources for students to use as they learn more. Disruptive knowledge, in other words, is not an end in itself, but a means toward the always-shifting end/goal of learning more. For example, novels from writers of color have traditionally been used to teach students about different cultures, or to give students entry into different cultural experiences (O'Neill, 1993)"
