| Summary: | "Inequality and discrimination are often cloaked with descriptions of difference among and between human beings as 'less than.' These well developed and internalized socially constructed beliefs inform our thinking and guide our actions. & Scholars have addressed many of the challenges of inequity through research leading to publications, presentations and workshops focused on, for example, multiculturalism, diversity, sensitivity, anti-racism, and white privilege. Yet the very same challenges of the past continue to be a part of our nation's narrative which seems counter to our true, at least espoused, values. Our goal is to offer a new approach. We will share a different approach to discuss, uncloak, and pave new pathways that will move our great nation towards the promise that we are all created equal and endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, including the pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness. Our approach focuses on uncloaking Un-American Acts that counter our espoused values."--Pages 1-2. |
