I found the views of Dr. Jackson in sync with a recent discussion I had with a classmate in one of our online Doctoral candidate classes at Walden University. Dr. Jackson mentioned access and homogenous which are the very words used in our discussion. My classmates mentioned that her Euro-centric culture thinks of themselves as homogenous and I that that mindset gives them access and accommodations. Need based, technology enhances, and learning style focused learning is not be just a trend in education. It is the way to counter the maltreatment and mis-education of people of color. Thank you Greg for posting this.
