Equity Detours Quote 5- add reactions/connections/questions below by Shannon Papcun https://padlet.com/shannon_francis/pazqqnogzg9ysp9a "Equity is a lens and an ideological commitment.

We cannot conquer equity within our school system until we address the racism within our school system.]]> 2021-10-18 16:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_francis/pazqqnogzg9ysp9a/wish/1824695238 https://padlet.com/shannon_francis/pazqqnogzg9ysp9a/wish/1824703378 We can't fully understand how racism operates unless we have directly been impacted by it.
