Inclusion and equity are intentional: if you're not actively working to dismantle oppression, you're part of upholding it.

Thank you @DerrickGay! #MontessoriNow

Advice from @DerrickGay :
-Reframe 'diversity' to differences
- Montessori is not a panacea for addressing inclusion, equity; we have to do the work
-continue to educate ourselves around our own identity

The problem with diversity is that when we talk about it we see people as other. At its core diversity is neutral. @derrickgay #MontessoriNow
