Diversity In School

Yesterday in my field placement I came upon something that made me think of our class right away.  Two of our students announced the school was doing a diversity activity type thing.  They sent home a "promise" that everyone who wanted to could sign along with everyone in their family.  The promise was that they would not treat people differently based on their race or culture or differences.  They promised to see peoples similarities rather than their differences.  They also have mixed up shoe day on Wednesday.  They are supposed to wear two different shoes to remind them that though the two shoes look different they have more in common than they different just like people.  It just really reminded me about Bronx Masquerade and how all of the students were able to see people for who they were and were able to look past their differences and see they were all more similar than they realized.
