@May_TEC673 @evreigh @eckm8 But aren't there ways of removing that by focusing on student choice? If we eliminate a traditional curriculum that dictates, could that eliminate bias?

[Kathleen West @KWest0304]

@evreigh A6 - This is so tough, but I feel like there are some experiential and inquiry based methods where students get to take the lead. It seems like a start, but feel like there would also need to be programming to unpack societal issues alongside student choice

@evreigh A5: Without a component of critical thinking, MCE isn't enough. World is more complex and involves deeper thought and analysis, so education needs to move that way too to help students see and address this #usfccc

@evreigh In bio, it could be about thinking more deeply about how we use and present evidence and how that can be interpreted or skewed. Things like looking at data and then working through why it might be controversial #usfccc #Biology

@May_TEC673 @evreigh What types of things would you like to see added to curriculum? I find math and science to sometimes be hard to adjust or bring in other ways of doing so would love to hear any examples!

[Kathleen West @KWest0304]

@ChrisJuelsgaard @evreigh If you had to pick a single example to illustrate, what do you think is most important or impactful?

[Kathleen West @KWest0304]

@evreigh For example, I think about the way we omit Rosalind Franklin from DNA (and the way that her work was essentially stolen), or the way we don't talk about the violation of Henrietta Lacks in stem cells #usfccc #biology

@evreigh Science hides behind the lens of objective and often doesn't talk about the way that people use scientific evidence to support oppressive systems

[Kathleen West @KWest0304]

@FoxMokhtari Think that's a really interesting distinction. What do you think the advantages are to something like liberation as opposed to anti-oppressive?

[Kathleen West @KWest0304]

@hmalovespbj Love the connection to the subaltern! Didn't think of that, but totally makes sense

[Kathleen West @KWest0304]

@evreigh A2: "anti-oppressive" definitely resonated with me, think it better fits the variety of things that have to be addressed in order to resolve inequities in classrooms
