Board of Education recognized the detrimental effects of racist ideology in American education, disproportionality and inequality persist in our schools.

By learning to cultivate cross-cultural skills and dispositions, educators can realize the vision of educational equity for all students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 352g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177 x 254 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781071888872\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edward A.
