But tons of people can't "get it." As the population is more of POC, it is very possible that institutional racism is shaving off more percentage points of success.

I seriously doubt that this "curriculum" will occupy much focus other than slight tidbits of awareness of cultural differences and hopefully create a setting of inclusion for all in the classroom.

“When students can see themselves in curriculum and see diversity in curriculum, they respond better,” Au said. “And, it can help white students understand themselves better. Structural racism in the country has mistaught white people about themselves — that they don’t have culture, that they don’t have roots.”
