Teacher Diversity or Lack Thereof

Stephanie and Sarah discuss the lack of teacher diversity and its effects on students. Though our classrooms are becoming more diverse, our teaching staff is becoming less diverse. Topics include systemic racism, antiracism, standardization of children, teacher preparation, and the role of schools in a "democratic" society. If we live in a diverse society, shouldn't our schools (and their leaders) be a reflection of this diversity?
