Diversity seems to create so many heated discussions. This is truly astonishing, especially in our country the United States of America. People seem to forget that a ripe mixture of cultures, religions, and social status founded the United States. Looking back and learning more about our backgrounds gives us a broader perspective of others. It is this vast mixture and variety of human beings, diversity, which created the strongest and greatest nation to date. When my grandparents were in school they watched as their friends who were not the same color as them drink from a water fountain marked for colored people. I am glad my grandparents understood this was wrong and did not grow up, going through life having friends of all different backgrounds. As I grew up, my friends were very diverse. I had friends who were African American, Hispanic, from another country, different religions, and other differences. Having diversity exposed to you at such an early age in your class is very important and brings many advantages to the table.
Starting early is the key to having kids have an understanding of one another. At a young age children can ask questions of one another when they are curious. These questions make them smarter and aware of the fact we are all different. Through my schooling I was always excited when people asked me what it is like being Jewish because I found it interesting that people really listened and began to have an understanding in why I believe what I believe. When children can have an opportunity to learn on the same level as children that are characteristically and in other ways different it gives them an understanding of equality. They can come to a conclusion that one is not better than the other. We are all the same. .
When children who have been exposed to many diverse people throughout early childhood can start having inclusive classrooms. Inclusive classrooms are classrooms in which teachers and students work together to create and sustain an environment in which everyone feels safe, supported, and encouraged to express their views and concerns.
