Chapter 5: How did our country become known as the free melting pot when youu could only be free if you were white?
Everyone likes to give as well as receive. No one wishes only to receive all the time. We have taken so much from your culture. I wish you had taken something from our culture for there were some good and beautiful things in it. Chief Dan George
As I look back at many things I did not know about our history as a nation, I find that there are many more things in which to be ashamed...We began as a nation of hypocrites and I am still trying to decide how much has really changed today.
Chapter 6: I begin by referring to the first paragraph of this chapter..."Usually those who complain believe that one religion, their religion, is the only true faith"...I ask...what kind of faith is it if it does not have your full measure of devotion?
We establish no religion in America, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, seperate. All are free to believe or not to believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free, and should be free, to speak of and act on their belief. Ronald Reagan
I can have my religion and believe that it is the only true religion without denying others the same right. I can speak to others about my religion and they to me about theirs...in the end it is our own choice what we believe. I am a Christian and will always believe that Gods way is the only way and I will keep sharing this with others but I can do so without judgement and without ridicule. Jesus told us to love one another, that is the greatest command...sounds like something good to teach out children no matter their religion, doesn't it?

Great points here Teresa! I agree. The Christian scripture is, "Love your neighbor as yourself." It does not say, "Love your Christian neighbor as yourself," nor does it say, "Love your white, heterosexual neighbor as yourself."
Usually, history is taught by the conquerors, and it is biased as is the law unfortunately. We must work to make the world more just and more equal.
Jen,

Good points and questions here! Look at some of the lesson plan ideas from Rethinking Schools and Teaching Tolerance. Play around on those websites and in their materials. That will help you with a lot of these concerns. Look at 10 Chairs of Inequality in particular for classism ideas--especially since you are beginning your poverty work now.
Chapter 5 Question: As a teacher, what would happen if you were teaching about different races and the obstacles that people had to face, what if the students or their parents were to get offended? Fact: Ethnocentrism is the belief that one one’s own race, nation, or culture is superior to all the others . Quote: Poor Mexico, so far from God, so near the United States. ( I feel bad that this is a quote from the book and I live in the U.S. I can’t believe that people thought and maybe even still feel this way.)
Chapter 6 Question: If religion is such a main aspect of the history of the different cultures in the world, then why is religion separated from the schools? Fact: Deism is a religious philosophy based on rationality that was devoid of mysticism. Quote: We have just enough religion to make us hate. But not enough to make us love one another.
