Too often we keep to classic literature that always focuses on some rich white person who makes a person of color seem like they are not worthy of normality; However, this is not always the case, and there are some rare times that it is shown as the opposite, like Richard Wright's "Native Son." Picking different books to focus on in the classroom allows us to integrate multiple cultures. We should focus on the act of cultural integrity. It is crucial to keep the culture in a multicultural environment. The culture should be embedded in the work. A misconception often is that works that say the region in the title are going to show the culture as a whole, when that is not true; it isn't going to capture the experience of many, but relatively just a few. As well, often many think that a simple book about the culture can have one relate, say if they are asian American, but honestly, they aren't going to relate to an asian focused book that takes place in Asia.

We also need to focus on avoiding exoticism. to often non white people are often seen in media as exotic beings to romantisize. Often this leads to stereotyping and representing a part of culture, making it seem like a whole when it's not. (BU)

One thing I've noticed becoming more common in classrooms is the physical setup of areas for the children to see and feel included in. By this I mean from anywhere, from decorations to little regions for them to be in—a big thing for me in stim corners. As a student, it was seen as very negative to need to stim. Many teachers believe that if you don't have a diagnosis, it doesn't matter, but it still does. From this, I want an area where kids could walk and stimulate themselves with stuff without distracting the class. I would also like to have flags from different countries on my wall. That might be more of a decoration for history classes, but it's still essential. I also want to have a drawer for students to access some toiletries they might not have, like tampons and hair brushes.
