Citizenship in School

As i read this article i was astonished. I am not going to lie i had to read this over and over because so many parts of this relates to me. First Kliewer argues that all humans have to get a long we are all human no matter how we may look or act. I agree and i can relate this to Martin Luther King theory "all men are created equal" and that is a proven fact. Humans should not treat people no different becuase the way the look. I feel as though people should treat people the way the would want to be treated. Throughout reading this entire article the one quote i found extremely important and the qoute that made me realize what this whole article was about was
"Colleen Madison agreed with Shayne that no child was inherently an intellectual burden to a classroom; in fact, she argued, each student contributed a unique and potential valuable dimension to the web of relationships that formed a school community."
The reason why i said this qoute was beyond the best qoute she could have ever used was because if the school first teaches the students to accept everyone for how they look and how the act, we will have a world full of peace. If people do not interact with others then they limit theirselves of learning about other people and maybe the personal background. If people of different colors and abilities work together within a work field it would make the work place easier and productive because all employees will be able to communicate with each other.
