Totally and absolutely pissed at the state school system at the moment,.

"The school, as a microcosm of society, often replicates these societal inequities in its broad policies and more specific curricular and instructional practices. When unexamined, education tends to proceed as business-as-usual and, in the process, perpetuates the status quo. To develop the capacity to provide all students with equity of opportunity to learn--a central goal of multicultural education--preservice students should examine the status quo, both societal and educational.
Although progress has been made, women and minorities are still underrepresented in such sectors of society as business, government, and education (Glass Ceiling Commission, 1995). Individual ability and initiative certainly play large roles in one's attainment of positions of authority within society. However, ability and initiative, or their absence, cannot fully explain the disproportionately few positions of authority held by women and minorities. The rest of the explanation likely derives from inequity, or unequal opportunity to succeed.
Whatever the reasons for the disproportion, the fact remains that with authority comes power. Power tends to be viewed differently by those who have it and those who do not. Delpit (1988) notes: "Those with power are frequently least aware of--or least willing to acknowledge--its existence. Those with less power are often most aware of its existence"
