As I read this both articles, it made me think that both groups of students have one thing in common—they feel alienated. The conflict is society’s notion of what it means to be identified as American. If students do not fit in those boxes then they are left out or end up growing up with some very messed up identities. Therefore, as future educators we must and should create environments within our classrooms that facilitate dialogues and lessons that illustrate many peoples and their identities. By providing students will complete information about LGBTQI and bilingual speakers. The information only should include be provided to students so that they have knowledge that is not distorted or incorrect. As educators, we should advocate for our students and teach them how to advocate for themselves. I admit that it can be a scary thing but it’s a skill that students should learn. Not only are they learning about the complexity of identify but empathy, too.
