NPHS AND NB CP and E Choice Board Reflections by M. Burke https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q After exploring the NPSD CP and E choice board, answer the following questions: What was one spark you found and what can/will you do with it? How did this spark change, challenge, or confirm your thinking? en-us 2021-04-20 18:05:11 UTC 2025-10-18 11:56:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4a1.png https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470049974 After watching the $100 race video, I think it really shines a light on how important equity is in our school system and the need to ensure that there is a level playing field for all students. If we do not take the time to ensure that needs are being met to help students succeed, we will continue to further the gap. ]]> 2021-04-28 16:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470049974 After viewing the video (running race) it made me more aware of the "advantages" I may have had growing up. It also makes me respect someone more for the obstacles (through no fault of their own) they were able to overcome and be successful. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470052030 2021-04-28 16:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470052030 Every statement I have made has nothing to do with anything you have done. We would be foolish not to realize that we have been given more opportunities. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470065516 2021-04-28 16:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470065516 I looked at "Historical Foundations of Race". I teach Latin to 10-12....I will use this "spark" to re-examine the historical components of my courses in relation to "race" relations, i.e. examining how the classical writers/historians discussed encounters with people other than their own "kind", the attitudes/beliefs espoused in these writings to make connections to these types of encounters today https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470074587 2021-04-28 16:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470074587 This video reinforced my belief that the opportunities you have based solely on the family you were born into impact your liklihood of reaching certain goals. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470074889 2021-04-28 16:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470074889 Spark https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470081025 Overall i was very pleased with the race video and its ability to make me think and feel in new and unusual ways.  I am a high school science teacher ]]> 2021-04-28 16:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470081025 This video reminds us that the "playing field" isn't level. I like to think that everyone has an equal opportunity in life...not necessarily an equal outcome (too many variables to control), but this just highlights that it isn't always the case. Hopefully, within our school setting (classrooms), we can create a more level playing field and afford everyone the opportunity to be successful. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470081901 2021-04-28 16:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470081901 The spark I found was the amount of resources the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture has! I've used other Smithsonian museum sites, but hadn't explored this one. I will definitely use it when I cover topics in history. I am a high school history teacher https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470086955 2021-04-28 16:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470086955 Race Video https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470087155 One spark I found was the impact of white privilege, It made me think about how privilege impacts our students. As a teacher, I can recognize and acknowledge my unearned privileges and help make others aware of theirs. I can also make space for others to share their experiences and voice. I can use my voice to speak out against racism.]]> 2021-04-28 16:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470087155 One "spark:" that I found was the Social Justice standards with each aspect of the high school becoming more diverse, we need to share and celebrate each other in new ways that is positive reinforcement for students to share that aspect of themselves and be proud of it. PPD(Social Studies certified) https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470087328 2021-04-28 16:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470087328 After watching the race video i think it brings to light how people can start life with less chance of being successful in life https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470090364 2021-04-28 16:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470090364 activity https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470090722 The activity spark changed, challenged and confirmed my thinking about systemic racial issues ]]> 2021-04-28 16:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470090722 Health/PE 10-12 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470092207 I looked at the Framework for Culturally Responsive teaching and what resonated with me was the importance of incorporating cultural experiences in my lessons.  My classes do discuss cultural traditions that they look forward to during the emotional health unit.  every year when we do this in class, I gain knowledge of traditions/foods/etc. that are part  of many different cultures.  And it highlights such a range of cultures and diversity.  It also helps me get to know my students better.

]]> 2021-04-28 16:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470092207 H/PE 10-12 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470092385 I explored the NPSD framework for culturally responsive teaching. What "sparked" me was the importance of understanding the impact that race and culture has on learning. It is easy to get into a routine of moving through curriculum and the hustle of teaching at NP. It is extremely important as an educator to stay current with events not only in our community but nationally to understand what mindset my students may have as they navigate my course. I want to do a better job of educating myself and staying current with events so I can better support my students not only in my class as learners but as young people navigating a challenging world. ]]> 2021-04-28 16:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470092385 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470097170 My initial view of the video confirmed the importance of equity. However, after learning about the potential harm this video may cause via researchers, advocates, etc on twitter, such as reinforcing stereotypes as well as inherently making students relive trauma, it challenged my thinking about the video as a whole. I think the message of equity is incredibly important and absolutely must be at the forefront of what we do for kids, staff, and the communities we serve. In addition, it is also important to understand how our actions and ideas may be perceived regardless of their intention. By having open, and honest conversations about experiences and points of view, I think we can find sustainable ideas for change. ]]> 2021-04-28 16:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470097170 The activity confirmed my thinking, we need to continue to grow and use newer standards that include looking at the diversity within the building. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470097460 2021-04-28 16:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470097460 I like how the video provided a tangible example (movement activity that you could see). I would like more examples like this one that we could incorporate into our classrooms to invite open discussion among the students. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470101277 2021-04-28 16:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470101277 Reading the Historical Foundations of Race, I question the author's brief assessment of slavery in Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Some of the Latin courses translate passages that deal with the Roman attitudes towards other nations/tribes/groups. This article challenged my thinking because I feel that the author did not really delve into the complexities of slavery in the antiquity. This felt like a paragraph that was thrown in to very briefly address the "but what about" questions. I guess I can't say that it confirmed or changed my thinking, so I will say that it challenged me to consider what I had studied and try to apply those lessons and historical context to class conversations. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470104478 2021-04-28 17:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470104478 I think we all think we at times struggle in life. Maybe we should look at what it really means to struggle. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470104513 2021-04-28 17:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470104513 English 10-12 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470108320 Christian slave owners seems oxymoronic, yet there were mny. Here's a Time Magazine article explaining the justifications made in the past that still haunt us today, 

How Christian Slaveholders Used the Bible to Justify Slavery

]]> 2021-04-28 17:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470108320 I chose to watch the video about the $100 race. It was a great way to demonstrate the challenges that some people face and the privileges that others have. I think this would be a great video to show students and to begin some real conversations. It is a simple way to demonstrate how many people of color have struggles that white Americans don't experience. I am sure this would be extremely relatable for students in the school. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470109611 2021-04-28 17:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470109611 I would like to see how the people in the back of the race felt during the questions part. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470110067 2021-04-28 17:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470110067 Disability as a form of Diversity https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470110107 The video is powerful in reminding us that Diversity is not just about race.  Students with disabilities are often overlooked in this discussion. High School 

]]> 2021-04-28 17:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470110107 The race video made me think about all the opportunities I have been given and opened my eyes to the struggles that students in my classroom face everyday. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470112078 I teach HS science]]> 2021-04-28 17:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470112078 Race Video https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470115937 This video was a really powerful way to illustrate and confirm my thinking around white privilege. It challenges me to keep recognizing what unearned privileges I have and think about what I can do to help dismantle racism.]]> 2021-04-28 17:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470115937 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470117053 #7 - Twitter challenge: I found some impactful and powerful tweets on @misterminor 's account. ]]> 2021-04-28 17:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470117053 Looks like me https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470119884 Kids should see pictures in their classrooms of people that look like them. Without this, how can students picture themselves in a career or similar situation?

]]> 2021-04-28 17:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470119884 I looked at Culturally Responsive teaching and found a piece on teaching with an anti-racist mindset. I can use this in my Multicultural Voices class when we are discussing the context of every novel in the curriculum - grade 12, English. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470119915 2021-04-28 17:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470119915 The Disability as a form of Diversity reminded me that we need to be aware and make others aware of those who may have "invisible" disabilities. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470121914 2021-04-28 17:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470121914 Grade 10/ Reading piotroj https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470123167 The spark was that the privilege of some students is what a lot of my students don't have and while it may set many of them back, it does not have to keep them back- that it can be more uniifying- they may realize that they are not alone with all of their set backs. 

]]> 2021-04-28 17:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470123167 10/Reading https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470123185 This is relatable to our students because so many of the things that held back the youth in the video are things that hold back all of our students. This would be an activity of commonality versus division and would give a common starting place for the year as well as a comfort level to see they are not alone]]> 2021-04-28 17:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470123185 In an article on religious freedom & the teaching of relation, it stated "the protection of religious minorities and the societal emphasis on the importance of religious freedom for all Americans is really critical right now." This supports why we teach about various religions. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470123705 2021-04-28 17:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470123705 Race Video https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470126741 The race video confirmed my thinking and the major ideas we have covered in professional development sessions that white privilege is real and that not all Americans are given the same access to opportunities.]]> 2021-04-28 17:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470126741 In the "How to Help Students Navigate "Anti-Asian Racism" I found it interesting that they suggest sticking to the facts and providing historical context when it comes to Anti-Asian racism. I have a student in the Knight Crier who has written a lot of about her Asian culture and racist undertones she has dealt with from others. I had not considered prior to the last year how real this was. Recognizing it now, I see the need to engage more directly with this subject in my classes, in which I have many bright and talented Asian students who may just not be asserting their feelings about this very real issue. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470128366 Honors English, Journalism, Pub Spk,  - K. Manero]]> 2021-04-28 17:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470128366 My exploration of the African American History & Culture museum confirmed my thinking that we need to incorporate more direct instruction about antiracisim and bias into our classrooms. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470129190 2021-04-28 17:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470129190 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470131060 A "spark" I found was the video linked in one of the Slide decks from the "How to help students navigate Anti-Asian racism" article. The video explained some of the historical context around racism towards the AAPI community and talked about it as "nothing new." This phrasing sparked a realization that at the HS we tend to overemphasize the historical and systemic racism against one particular community (the Black community) while spending less time and attention acknowledging that it is not the only community of color to experience historical racism. This video is something I would share with my HS English students to shine the light on another POC group's historical struggle with racism as the video mentions that if we allow racism against one group to go unaddressed, it merely serves to perpetuate racism in all forms. This video is inclusive of "groups" beyond just the AAPI community as it also mentions the Latinx community and groups designated as "other," so I think it is an important resource to remind students that racism is not a challenge faced by our black and brown students alone.]]> 2021-04-28 17:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470131060 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470131821 The video confirmed how I handle things like late work, make up work, when a kid simply asks for more time, homework... etc. These kids have lives and face struggles that many of us have not, and we need to allow them to, and help them, navigate that the best we can, and remember that this is just one part of their lives. ]]> 2021-04-28 17:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470131821 I watched the $100 race and it really painted a good picture on what it means to be privileged and having advantages based on things that we don't even control. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470131839 2021-04-28 17:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470131839 The video reminded me that educational opportunities often vary based on circumstances well beyond a person's control. Where you were born or your home life situation is out of a child's control, yet they face persecution in many ways right from the start of their lives. Educationally, we lower our standards instead of meeting students where they are and helping them rise up. Because of how stuck we are in a pattern that historically offers education to white privileged people. Our American education system hasn't changed dramatically enough in over a century. Which is really criminal, if you think about it. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470132162 2021-04-28 17:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470132162 10-12 Business https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470133218 I think positive relationships is the most important thing you can have in a classroom. Students need to be able to trust you and need to know that you care, Learning about all students' backgrounds and culture helps everyone to know more about each other. This makes it easier to have positive relationships and interactions.]]> 2021-04-28 17:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470133218 10-12 Business https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470133261 Learning strategies must encourage positive relationships among students and between educators and students congruent with students' cultural standards.]]> 2021-04-28 17:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470133261 Exploring what Diversity can Mean... https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470133280 Look at layers of identity that contribute to how we view ourselves and how we can provide more awareness of different forms of diversity.

It can be a great activity for the beginning of a school year with new classes to make everyone aware that not everyone comes from the same background as them and they should respect all the differences people have to offer ]]> 2021-04-28 17:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470134321 I feel I need to give more time to helping kids understand the similarities in religions.

You don't have to be a shame of the benefits you have, but it is ignorant to ignore them and think that it was only hard work or effort that got you to where you are rather than someone else. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470139272 2021-04-28 17:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470139272 10/Reading https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470139707 This confirmed my thinking about privilege on many levels and in relation to my students it hit spot on. It also relates to the movie The Freedom Writers and the masking tape activity. My students love to watch that scene and this is similar. Both affirm their truth.]]> 2021-04-28 17:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470139707 I grew up with none of the advantages mentioned in the $100 race video. The video is a false analogy. There isn’t only one prize at the end. Anybody who finishes the race gets something. Sure, it took me longer to finish college than many of the kids I grew up with. I don’t begrudge them the advantages they had, and I don’t feel sorry for myself, or bitter that I didn’t have those advantages. I achieved the success in life that I wanted. I used my humble origins to fuel my desire to achieve something. I’m not envious of those that have more. I’m glad they have those advantages! The last thing a person without those advantages needs is somebody making them feel bitter about their situation, and envious of those that have more. Also, it’s not about race. It’s about economic class. Question, in the video, how many white kids never took a step forward? I didn’t see a one. Not every white kid has all, or even any, of those advantages. I know of whole communities in the mountains where no young person has any of those advantages. What is very telling is that white kids that don’t have those advantages aren’t in college (assuming that this was a college environment). Also, the way the video was framed made it seem that every white person has at least one of those advantages, and no POC does. Not a true reflection of our society.

It sparked me when the speaker mentioned that "disability is the largest minority in the world".

One in particular I found is called Whiteness. In this part of the museum, I saw a quote that said something like "being white does not mean that you have not gone through any hardships, it means you have not gone faced hardships because of the color of your skin" and that really stuck to me. It confirms my thoughts that while everyone struggles, everyone's situations or why they struggle or face a hardship is different and we need to acknowledge that. Someone who is white will never be able to know what a hardship is for a black person...and same vise versa. Speaking about these hardships and sharing how they felt for YOU is important so people can try to understand where I/you are coming from. As a counselor, it is important for me to listen to how an experience impacted that specific individual rather than assuming that I know what they have been through even if we went through similar situations. ]]> 2021-04-28 17:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470237985 My "spark" was the resources that D'Ana Waters sent out during the Chauvin Trial.

I found the $100 race video interesting as it presents many advantages children/students have that have nothing to do with what they have accomplished or done themselves.  Many are given a head start in the race because of the family they are born into and raised.  This is such a visual way to present inequality, not just to the participants in the video, but also the viewers.

The activity did confirm what my thoughts were towards the $100 race.  There are many layers and factors that go into where students are standing before the race even begins.  There were many of the children that were close to the finish line even before the race was to begin.  This advantage had nothing to do with the individuality of each of the kids in the race.

It was all theory until the last in-service. So I read an article from the District link of resources called "What anti-racist teachers do differently". This article opened my eyes to several possibilities. It talked about students of color and how they react in classrooms where teachers care about them and challenge them as opposed to classrooms where the teachers expect the student to conform to their teaching style. Students from differing cultural backgrounds have different discourse styles. I will be diversifying my assignments next year to provide all students with options. I would like to incorporate more oral language into the curriculum such as debates and poetry or rap recitals of content knowledge and issues. I have always done group work but next year the group work will be in smaller student numbers, no more than 3 students per group so that everyone has to provide their own voice. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470357795 2021-04-28 17:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470357795 HPE 10-12 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470359289 Having the opportunity to sit and look through all of the resources provided was important to my continued education. ]]> 2021-04-28 17:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470359289 The video was a reminder to appreciate all the blessings you have in life as well as showing the respect that others deserve.

I watched the $100.00 race and then went back to a Ted Talk from a previous session with John Biewen's Ted Talk on "The Lie that Invented Racism" as I found a connection. Until we understand that racism supports profits, and political and social systems for a select few, not a biological truth, we can't recognize or understand how white privilege impacts everything anyone attempts to do in life. And we didn't earn it, whites just have it and don't recognize it. We profit from it , even as we say we aren't racists. And we never have to think about it because the world is structured for us. Not the same for brown and black people how are unjustly handicapped from the beginning. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470361473 2021-04-28 17:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470361473 Challenge mendezjm https://padlet.com/burkeme1/xfn0cb1eft9bj41q/wish/1470364189 The article How to help students navigate anti-Asian racism, challenges the notion that topics about racial violence are off limits and that teachers and student can both be affect by the violence directed to specific groups.

But the link here reads “race video, “ which I find interesting. The coach in the video makes a point about the black guys “smoking” the white guys if the whites weren’t advantaged. Well, there’s a blatant stereotype, no? Certainly one that some “black guys” wouldn’t appreciate - it’s like saying all Asians are good at Math. Why include that - it’s irrelevant. 
It’s about advantages. This raises another question - what’s the difference between advantage and privilege? Does either suggest undeserved position founded on the suffering of others? Why does the rhetoric of racial bias focus on the term “privilege” instead of advantage? Isn’t the point that all should have equal opportunities in our society? To focus on what creates inequalities and address the root causes rather than suggest those who have achieved without disadvantage are somehow privileged rather than state those who must achieve in the face of disadvantage are deprived of equity? 

I think this would be an interesting article to share:

https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2016/11/15/why-its-better-talk-about-advantage-rather-privilege-essay

It suggests that the language of advantage directed toward those possessing advantage generates less hostility and defensiveness, more openness - isn’t that the idea?
