  Rodriguez , “Aria;”   Collier , “Teaching Multilingual Children Quotes: 1.) "The odd truth is that my first-grade classmates could have become bilingual, in the conventional sense of that word, more easily than I. Had they been taught (as upper­ middle-class children are often taught early) a second language like Spanish or French, they could have regarded it simply as that: another public language." The author uses this quote to almost emphasize the importance of a secondary language in teaching.

Article: White Privilege:  Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack and The next time someone says 'all lives matter,' show them these 5 paragraphs Author: Peggy McIntosh and  Kevin Roose " I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help, my race will not work against me" This is one of the most interesting points on Peggy's list.

Article:  U.S.A Land of Limitations Author: Nicholas Kristof This Author Nicholas Kristof argues that American  youths'  social status when they become adults directly corresponds to that of their parents while growing up. He states that it is harder to make more money than your parents did based on how much income they made during your youth. he makes an excellent point as to how income is almost like genetics.  It's  very difficult to get a recessive gene compared to a dominant one. He states that hard work doesn't always equate to a higher income or a better life. Sometimes it can even make things more difficult. Hard work can lead to many great things but one unfortunate accident or something that goes wrong can make all that hard work pointless. He even goes on to say that we are in the lowest  percentile  on wealth  ascension  compared to European countries and Canada.  Canada  being  around three times as high. ...
