Assignment 1: Discussion Question: Accepting Cultural Differences

Earl Whitecloud is an American high-school student. He is constantly teased and bullied by his classmates because he occasionally wears clothing that represents his Native-American heritage. As a result, Earl spends most of his time at school alone, is absent far more than the average student, and performs poorly at school. 

As Earl’s teacher, who acutely perceives the problem, you decide to devote a class period to talking about diversity and accepting cultural differences.

What three points will you emphasize the most and why?

Will you involve Earl in the discussion? Why or why not?

By Saturday, January 28, 2017, respond to the assigned discussion question. Submit your responses to the appropriate Discussion Area. Use the same Discussion Area to comment on at least two of your classmates' submissions by the end of the week. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
