huh
but not everybody
i was kind of week
so good morning everybody
it is a good morning
there's no students on campus
i think that's a good here that have judgments
a footnote judgments
but it is a good morning at least for me
uh... because it's a privilege and honor for me to speak to
y'all
about some human relations issues
uh...
it's a little bit about myself before we embark on this journey for the next hour
hour and a half herself
as you probably know from the handout i'm a police officer by occupation
and some here they can
what the heck
is this copying to talk to us about
what is he know about building safe respectful inclusive school communities
he's not one of us
and you know who you are
so when she died on the website where i patrol
our member your face
but um... i've been a proper almost twenty seven years it will be twenty
seven years and although i'm a police officer by occupation i really don't see
myself
as a police officer only because the fact that i spend as much time if not
more
incidents like this are really see myself
as an educator i think i miss my calling and very very passionate
about talking to folks about
human relations issues and uh... anytime i have an opportunity to speak
to law enforcement
and educators in administrators faculty
are really really enjoy it
my background comes from working details and patrol gang street-level narcotics
drug investigations
a couple is working press relations is one of the spokespersons for the police
department
i spent seven years on the hot swat team as a hostage negotiator
uh... was promoted to sergeant for three years i was a lieutenant for eleven
years
and currently a macbook commander in charge of the west division over on
santa fe anybody familiar with that place
uh... west division is basically the west city limits to cherry avenue
anaheim to the south and we'll go to the north it's just organ was violent
division in the city of the four geograph or
patrol division to have a budget about seventeen million dollars at
are responsible for number
hundred twenty hard-working men and women that come to work every day
and try to impact violent crime trying to build safe respectful neighborhoods
and impacting the quality of life and
and violent crime and it's full-time job
but uh...
back in nineteen ninety-five how i got started doing this stuff was
the chief of police asked me to design and deliver a comprehensive cultural
awareness program
for the entire long beach police department to be a seven year plan
and so hot i got together
a colleague of mine who uh...
worked for human relations organization town called n c c_j_d_ national
conference
of christians and jews
it's a human relations organization whose mission is to fight by spigot re
racism in america through conflict resolution education advocacy
so she was a facilitator from that organization i was a facilitator for the
police department started teaching together
and um...
human relations can work here damage because we are now married
hello side benefits
but we designed a comprehensive program and then uh... i was asked to come on
board at the simon wiesenthal center and museum of tolerance
revving up to travel around the country talking educators in law enforcement
about these issues
and uh... it seems like a haven't stopped since among the circuit
traveling uh...
on the federal level other international level teaching delegations from france
germany
russia and uh... it's a privilege to be back your long beach city college
there's no biggie from cal state is there
okay
well
now here's what i'm gonna do i'm going to just
keep it real
i had a great experience uh... at cal state and long beach
uh... but i have to say some of my fondest memories
and the only reason why because cal state and they went to online
you know he'd everything from home
mean fact majority was online
i love being in class
and uh... i have some very very fond memories of sitting in class
on tuesday and thursday nights
monday wednesday nights
uh... coming to class engaging with the instructors and engaging with other
students at work
a lot older than me
and a lot younger than me
the legs got my degree about a year and a half ago
i was on the thirty year plan
we'll talk more about that whatever is better
where you're going to get started
uh... what i have to do
over the next
at a time that we have togethers if you start thinking about some things on a
personal level
it's very easy as an educator as a faculty members are classified staff
working institution like this
to dismiss
so many of the things that are happening
around you
and when i decide curriculum like typically designer with a personal
responsibility peace
integrated into it so basically i just want to give you a heads up that this
next
how when it happened so it's going to really be for all of you
i don't know what strategies your walk away with it
there is no lesson plan
i'm going to plant some seeds for you to think about
sinn fein's and give you hopefully opportunity introspective look at
yourselves
to see where you stand where do you know stand in regards to some of these issues
and what will you played not your students play in helping to do
role in maintaining a status that poll inclusive long beach city college campus
it's an opportunity for you that's all it is
some will take the information
some old
but what you choose to be when she walked up was double doors in an hour so
is totally up to you
so with that we're going to have fun along the way i will be interactive
and we're going to get started
i'm sure you well know that there is this promise pathways that exists which
is really kind of cool
and uh... preparing for the workshop uh... last couple months
i've learned that one which is really neat
on a product abroad unified school district that went to world elementary
i got thrown out of will be sent me to bryant elementary
the networks jefferson middle school i went to wilson high school like in the
city college and i went to cal state so i'm kind of although pat promised
applicant was it
formally in place
on the product of that seamless
at seamless education dept that process that now exist for so many
understands that you deal with
thanks very fortunate we reported to have this year
you know what you think about the pathway
and you know in the booklet on your website you have
all these different things of what formally this program is all about which
is great also add some other things
people come to this campus
pcc campus in a place to campus into this institution
that's been here for so many years for a lot of different reasons everybody comes
for their own reasons my mama
nudity
kansas city college
yet she uh...
struggle because joey stocks have an access to the middle east teacher says
i'm not going to
pass the class you have to help me with my homework you know it's a computer
class i can help in my own computer i don't know nothing about computers
but the teachers were accountable like everybody else and guess what
that's cool you know what a great scenery
there's equity
everyone's out that this is a standard k
but people coming up for the pleasure of learning my mom doesn't have a
did read my for mom and dad
middle school education
uh... but there are people that are pursuing certificates
they're people who are pursuing careers law enforcement and have the opportunity
rapid graham wire here is a good friend of mine
the criminal justice uh...
department
they want to get a degree they want to transition to a new career in the new
dynamic today is that
with what's happening in in the workplace
uh... people are doing careers are changing careers left and right
and a lot of people come to your institution to get that experience and
to get that dream
the reality
shows that although the
although he still related certificate
or transferring to a college you're getting that did return to your degree
uh... the statistics are telling us that for some reason
fall fewer people or achieving these milestones and there's my record
reasons as to why these things are not
are not happening
uh...
here's some of them
these pictures depict some of the challenges that your students
in your students families are dealing with
already
linea
or near the poverty level
each pregnancy teen pregnancy
drugs and alcohol
unemployment
all those are major factors and the kids in the student account gets
recombinants
our students
thank you
they look like kids
correctness
political correctness who's heard the term
who hasn't heard the term
political correctness i kinda like it's intellectual dishonesty
if we use full functioning adults cannot sit in a room like this in a safe
environment and talk about
and have honest conversations about these issues
we're not going to make progress
so
in the absence of
political correctness and i'll try to be respectful
uh...
using proposal practice right out the door
ought to be honest i want to keep its israel as possible
are so we keep it real
this is not should look like that every setback on this too
this institution
do you have the same opportunities to succeed whatever educational goal or
personal goal cats
this is the college should have been placed with various strategies in
allowing them
to get to
and one of the ways that we find that keeps cancelling games
escrito communities
his mind sharing at the college in the school immunity is safe
i'm not talking about
physical safety which that is very important
and there are things that come up with this college like every college in
america from time to time
what were sometimes gets over local is the emotional safety
of our students
to know that in a classroom
they can't speak openly and honestly to ask a question or not be afraid to go to
the administration counter for a few b
creative
differently
or treated this respectfully
or being heard
because there are people in need of human life
field you use words as weapons that's the reality
they want to do something physical but they know they can get away with it so
they will just heard abt
and you know that words sometimes we even motion stars that never heal
so we need to start thinking about perhaps
so i'm asking you to start thinking about
what do you need to do
to help building safely separate gruza school community
and as i mentioned earlier we are going to do this
by uh... self reflection
wilderness explicitly basic concepts
this morning here for the first part
stereotype writers discrimination
stereotype writers and discrimination who want to take a shot at the first one
who wanted to find stereotype what's at all about
which is stereotype that
cooling off
pets
said that that might be factual
flew straight i don't want to perpetuate any of those days
yes sweeping generalizations that may not have any factual
basis to that
welts a recap what's at all about dogs
serotype
i'll be shot
all second yes ma'am
leveling the playing out in very good yes sir
not making the time or the effort to understand what that person or group of
people
is really all about mary did anybody else
no i think many times gets a bad rap
it just a couple works is nothing more than i thought pics talk that you have
about a person
or a group of people
deposit dot
depositary type
could be but generally what is it
for example
most of you in this room
i don't know me
you learned i was a police officer
public fair to say the each and every one of you when she saw me
automatically formally define about
yeah u
he was a good dot
opt looks kinda cool
it was probably about dot what's the scoop you look at the top of what they
had to get anything to me
mhm you are
home and it was a neutral but perhaps try inside not try to put a label on we
try to categorize me
based on what i look like my name my occupation who knows
but let me ask you this even if there is a positive stereotype
or positive project we have about a person or group of people you think you
can still run into problems
what we saw harmful solar panel about harvard stereotype
setting up expectations absolutely
absolutely
yep make a judgment are choosing that person over somebody else based on your
stereotypic we have about that
anybody else
let me give you an example
uh...
and that's my life
work for accumulation donations of program director and for those of you
know a product of wanted unified or know about palm beach you fight you know that
we used to before budget cuts
uh... you student nine or ten times here take a hundred fifty high school kids
remove ten different high schools in long beach up to you cut back to the
mound for building bridges human relationships
but like you to put that program on that cap on
year after year based volunteer
we spent weeks was talking about race racial identity personal responsibility
in things like that over the course of the three days for intensive
and what you see here can after camp in the high school kids a regards
deposits are types of things like this
had occasion will come out to be up to one of dialogue group sunday too and she
says joe
i can walk in the class in the first day of where these glasses like he read
these books about the sector backpack
the teachers automatically think that i'm gonna be
smart straight a student
and then she breaks down in tears and starts crying and says guess what joe
i'm not i'm just kind of an average the student
when she goes on to relate later in the day that for the rest of your she feels
invisible the teacher won't give her the time to be a cousin teacher thinks she's
all that the baggage if she's got it going on
well used to work at the capitol blacks the male blacks
jaw up and down the hall at coaches maddening
tracklisting
try out for that team if ingested nine days just cuz i'm black i must have all
this athletic ability
and that's what many of them say
so i think it's a point to point out that even if you buy into this notion
out deposit stereotype it's a compliment
we could definitely and expectations
and basically what you stereotype somebody have the potential
district that person everything they have to potentially offer
with a stereotype somebody other potential put it in a box
pursuing over their head as to what you think they're all about
and you could be wrong
does either of these three terms i want you to think about it in layers if you
will
on the outside we've got stereotype knowing that a little bit bickered
deeper and talk about prejudice who want to take
and shot at that
broadly defined prejudice
so it's tied into discrimination
budget prejudicial
behavior okay
anybody else
prejudice without a doubt
he had to do it at all social judge gerry
as corrupt
how stock and then without gab album that valid picked up
but it's the answer is actually in that
itself right
to prejudge
and another way i can describe pledges for me is insufficiently that's usually
attached to the thaw
and many times to meet you
will go in and and and
also a somebody
told automatically forward thought about that person
and follow up with a feeling not mention this person is this way
addiction this person is that way
all it is now time for the first of all the way of the morning
the first level in the morning i'm looking for
two volunteers to help me uh...
uh... like this could happen to stop making eye contact with me
does too
you're not going to happen
are you doing
in the backyard and you can copy
blue shirt are you going to might come up about it
thanks for volunteering
you didn't volunteer but thanks for being a good sport
yeah okay
listening
marlon joe thanks to meet you would need to hear arts
passport
what seventy teach
chemistry
salim's wife serotypes
i'm being honest
out thinking he'd worked in the athletic department
marlin
and uh...
a look at uh... to look away are you sir
when can i think that's it
or maybe i got
at city college
or biology to saving them
did
molly acknowledge other okay what do you go to college
aviation maintenance okay
all right what i want to do now demonstrate something in regards to
these two dynamic stereotyping prejudice but norquist to work i get all of you
work with me
so maybe they don't care and some of you may know marlon
removed that you just see in these two guys for the very first time
also i am not a high school basketball coach
work college basketball coach
and that i've done it nobody on the team
i got to fill the roster with one kid so i put out of out announcement in the
high school to college newspaper the biking
would still like it
announcement of biking
remember lucknow your audience right
i thought i was not backdrops for the basketball team got to get short of a
tryout
about canada dot world
we see
he requested am i like john lennon elaborate for the group what would be
immature that
are you looking for academic
as well as athletic
or just one
dyslexic
without doing anything about these to digest
looking at it
loose perhaps try to formulate some thoughts
what's your
let's be honest with you see
alleges model and what else
a quick gardening
so what you're saying one slow
uh...
networks that fair
okay got it so it's not becoming try it out and i think that's up an operatic
here
catering to an end
alley that make you
lazy area
uses a size
what else are you doing may be seen
acquiescing race
who's looking at race
i'll be honest
icy harmonize so you get over there but
also see rates
also you might be big libras gotta play into it
will based on who i see planned po mall i see people i got a big black guys
playing pro ball on the average size asian guys do you see
conduct section you're not mad at this time
late-night
it's really not hitting the sack
now interesting thing about this particular scenario theirs
sometimes i get asked role
or told joe i don't uh...
arnold's erased are here
uh... i mean i really are we all really part of the human race
are already but you know i don't have a prejudice bone in my body
uh... i love everybody everybody loves me i didn't have black friends
but
above the one you got a lot about for
ice we see you at a speed boat we see color
what do you want
better now we see color
there's nothing wrong with that
now in a few minutes when we talk about what can happen on this continual
we use color
there might be some issues
i watch like this happen in this particular scenario
pool basketball coach i don't get to the tryouts
i grew up in
uh...
can excuse me
thanks again
i know you're busy kit on campus i want to waste your time with the tryouts
we've already made a decision
i appreciate you coming out
but uh... i understand they've got an opening on the tennis team
now rapidly have heard us
or hispanic it's you know what did you check into the soccer team archer people
good at
soccer
and i don't know about you but some believe it's almost like stepping on
somebody when they're already down
and perpetuate reinforcing
whatever stereotypes are out there aren't going to think about the damage
you because in the long
now running tell ken thanks for coming out involuntary we have a consolation
prize for it
widest images that i got a lot of issues myself
a lot of magic
philosophy
monitors congratulations don't worry about the tryout he just made the
basketball team
now this whole process my guess backfired on me because when i tell
heartly congratulations you just made the basketball team he might go great
thanks coach but what's a basketball
you might not know anything about all and is a possibility i could turn out to
be a better ball player
absolutely
he may not be as big as tall as trauma the rival race whatever that's all about
but maybe he's great he's at john's got skills maybe he's a bad bill
amendment playing little league since he was in diapers
but they sold their souls and their appeared i find that out about the two
of them
i made a decision about perhaps running my decision was based in part by my own
life
stereotypes brightest let's give monahan face will investigate
asset based on what has transpired up here
i guess the elevator escalated to my next layer which is discrimination
if they don't like that
i said probably ask ann if this is that it will be on camera you felt
discriminated against
at least in canton marlon put alongside each other run into some kind of drills
an admission decision dot would marlon based on his skills
would you at least felt better just given the opportunity
and i didn't even offering
and discrimination really what it was nothing more than the action please
here's where perhaps we can get in trouble
taking the other stuff about the stereotyping prejudice and is wrong with
it
and you can see how quickly i went
with those three dynamic scary typewriters estimation
i think this is a high school
basketball coach of the college basketball coach
i could rationalize why did your blessing guys
you know can i didn't mean anything by it
into college page me to put together a winning team
i thought i knew talent when i saw didn't mean anything by it
i'm sorry
and once again think about the damage because along the way
now i do this exact same exercise up in the mountains with a high school kids
this played out very similar amira high school basketball coach europe
football coaches
she's a bit like i'd like our summer when there are many people usually an
average
asian and latino than i mean this mess
and when i do this exercise at the camp when i asked the question that i just
posed
to the high school student hate you know
did you feel that was discrimination
about fifty fifty two responses
really didn't think that with discrimination
then of course is a facilitator you follow up with that
question with also a bit more about that why do you feel that was not
discrimination
and the typical responses i get or things like this
well it happens to me
all the time
or you know what no big deal though i was kind of
expecting it
that's pretty powerful folks
from where you're sitting based on your social identity you may not be able to
really understand it
but there are still in this
on this campus
we have this brick walls every single day of their lifer bill other reason
than what's on the outside
some of them don't even have a chance coming through front door
esprit powerful
i'd like to back up and talk about my two favorite once for a minute
at the time and then she might intro that i feel that i've been
privileges fortunate to have spoken to thousands of people all over the country
bobby's human relations issues
that a confession to make to each and every one of you here this morning
every single day in both my personal and professional life
i do that
i do that
and by virtue of the taking ownership of the first one to tell you all that on
prejudice
because i a m
before they were my bias is right i think that i am
hopefully where my pregnancy might check myself i worked on it every single day
and i guess for me how i rationalized all this madness
if you will
is that i can see this is a filtering system
by doing this is weighted down by one
rolled into small tiny manageable pieces
i don't take the time to find out what people are all about
are you a good person or a bad person oregon hurt me or to get everybody
struck by mexican labeling categorizing prejudging
sometimes i'm right
actually many times
i'd like to ask all of you folks a question or two if i mean
you find yourself do not persuaded that your
you find yourself doing that when every
himself for most of you there were shaking your head yes
would you tell me if i said to a certain degree you're all prejudice and i'd be
pretty accurate
i'll take a risk here is that i would say that everybody
whether they wanted me there not to a certain degree it's prejudice
i'd like to think that would most reasonable people although we have this
prejudice another way i like to regard as kind of like a cancer it's their we
all habitat holy remains dormant
when i said i checked myself i checked myself every day
i'd check myself everyday tried should the schedule doesn't do what
i realize this is what i'm going to be my balls did not mention about too far
beyond that because i know for me
and probably for most of you
would you start putting into action
some of these were thinking
so things were feeling about people of different racial ethnic cultural groups
people that are different than you
and the other two pretty good
let me know what you pretty
now and it was real jobs they typically have a comment
that goes something like this
or do you know i i i i understand this thing
still attend practice but you know i've been in education
for thirty-plus years
and uh...
you know i can tell you pretty much
as it walks like a duck
esic wax like a duck
if it's the internet dot park
i'd probably what
exit dot
could be a ticket
runs of the entry are
it could be done
but what i would submit is what if it's not
what if it's not a bad thing that's happened to me numerous times in light
line of work when i wanted to something or someone picking up really for certain
way
and i was dead wrong
that present basically gloomy ottawa
and the struggle i find myself with that particular time is having to come back
and reevaluate recess
and then i try to come back into it more than an open mind
and then usually like dust settles internally ask myself a question to the
goes like this
okay joan honest person just proved you wrong
now admitted on human just like anybody else i don't like to be one of a certain
amount of
you go
and now this person just prove me wrong i asked myself
not really going to be hundred-percent open-minded
for how much my first impression where my spirit type of prejudice namely
negatively going to impact
the relationship to the next semester quarter that i have with
usually something to think about
really i think when we talk about
these terms before we ship here sir
s to recognize
that we all have prejudice
or p dot
i think it's important to recognize
and we all have prejudices
the experts say the between the ages of nineteen twelve years old children
have a party started to establish some pretty hardcore stereotypes
and prejudices about people of different racial ethnic cultural groups
it's natural folks
recognizes the first step
making sure we don't act on it
is the next
because if we do
as i've mentioned
we need to think about what damage mccovey so i'd like to use this analogy
dragon register sees
and i said that we all possess the cds
sicily and what i want to go into the quietest beautiful campus
we want to plant a tree through through the season there we'd water in the time
the streams going to grow and grow and grow and grow
what happened to this treaty with the clippers out every once in awhile folks
an unmanageable
i control
even didn't
damage along the way
sometimes very subtle
or stereotypes and pegasus
sometimes
they're very blatant
i'm a parent
i have four children
as i've got one in elementary school
one in middle school
and one in college
but did he do
that's right about life in the former program directors yet a retired to stay
home and keep up with all
all these case
my four kids are all different
abu d reflective of
your student community here
and in your classroom
uh...
and as a parent
i basically have one fundamental goal
for the people
the staff
whether classified or academic teachers administrators are basically have one
goal
for all that
whether it's weaver elementary here orange county high school yards are cal
state long beach regardless of where they go to school
i have one goal
is that they learn
that they learn
but you all know better than they are not in the profession of education
you know that there were for real learning to take place
at learning how to take place and what kind of environment
safe environment
safe environment
as i always take place
fresher one personal
experience
our son goes to a college
he's any ethics class
the professor gives an assignment
for them to do a class project to report on any topic they want
my son wants to do it topic
on uh... delights
and separation of church and state
so any occassional forty children
students
including my son teachers the professor's going around asking what you
doing here is on twenty two years out
he comes to my son jacob
and asks what are you doing your son
and he says i'm doing it on gay rights in america woods prop tool
with it
marriage
thank you
uh...
and the professor as one of these
and then in front of the classroom he asks
argue one of them
and my sense is
what happened answer that
and the professor brushes a mom i say what you don't look like one of them
and walks away to the next group
now this is an example
an ethics professor
ethics course
i think my son felt safe in that class
checked out
withdrawal
studies show
that when
an institution like this or any other institution weatherby elementary middle
school high school or college
and if there is a positive school climate
people didn't succeed your students are going to succeed
they're gonna be able to achieve those goals i have a lot easier
and in this room we have
classified
which is a wide-ranging
positions
who deal with probably with students
as frequently as the faculty better in this room the academic
so you each and every one of you played really a vital role
in making sure that you work towards creating a state
school climate
i had nothing but positive experiences on the city college
in fact i have some instructors former instructors from when i started here
back in
anyone
after high school
they still communicate with the professor that was here for many years
ago in florida
developed a relationship with him and his wife and my wife to decide on a
sailing ship once when he was here
some really good experiences here long beach city college
and you know what i think that happens
anybody know
why do you come into this profession of education income for the money right
unpleasant for the money right
making fourteen dollars an hour i graduate mcgarry put my life on the line
for fourteen bucks an hour
you don't come into the professional education
for the money
you probably coming to this professional education because you want to make a
difference
because you're passionate about
the work that you do
you see in sees an opportunity to form shady values perhaps of some of your
kids
because i sad reality is that many of the students and you're dealing with
come from
escola dysfunctional families
or no family
for homeless
and many of them are looking
to you too
as a role model
somebody to lead that somebody to guide them
because so many of the valujet used to be fulfilled in the home had not been
relegated to
all of you
what and noble profession
you know we get backed up by get wrapped up in my business and the new won't
comment just another didn't come to work
they sometimes lose focus is to the nobility
and the importance
of the jobs that you do
you have the opportunity every single day multiple times a day to make a
positive impact on the life
of so many
i know i don't take advantage of seized those opportunities
it's time to express it takes effort
they're trying to get you to think about as a gift to myself
to think about why we came into this profession to make a difference
that about you as my wife says it's about the kids
all my kids
there's been a lot of studies i was up in ventura yesterday teaching
to uh... uh...
wide range of audiences from fourteen different districts
who are working to close the achievement gap
that there are the schools and the the elementary schools in the middle schools
in the high schools are facing many challenges
that you are you know what
money
we're getting
the promised apparatus
seamless education you're getting close
those kids and they're dealing with
the elementary middle school high school they're coming to you
and if they're not equipped and having your guest right now
democrat can get up to speed riders of
there's a connection unparalleled there but what we have found what they have
gone through
a california helping kids survey in that
the school climate surveys that
needed to relate actors
if educators and administrators in
focus on these three things they can play a significant level
increased deposit slip london and getting more markets to succeed
you know what charles
zapper
turnaround schools schools and the most poverty-stricken
communities
they found that if they focused on this they were able to turn those whose
around
school the school school has been through
less risky behaviors
less problems in the schools
bipartisan in on the street yes
what you want to do it
the relationship with my kids
but i do that
i've got sixteen week seventeen weeks i've got curriculum
i've got to get them through their got holidays we got
like state like deaths that are so valuable
the time for you with us this time for you
i do you want to build relationships
time for that
i recognize that
all of you probably have a
but if you want to make a difference sometimes it
requires going the extra step
ratso
i would go for time
so british official real quick
and talk about something that were fighting
something that you just one of your fighting in this room
something that exists
on this college campuses something that exist on every college campus in america
there's a system in place
whereby
one particularly
the dining room has a damage is coming their way
inherently
and there are some parts of your student population
better looking around for those same advantages and guess what
nowhere to be found
what we call the system of advantage or a forum of oppression
me
some people
some of your students based on what they look like
their social identity
they're walking through life
on the side effects knowing that it is coming that way
there are other things on your campus based on their social identity rock
relied on the side effects meeting apartheid on a group that has advantages
coming their way
and substance of the adult
now let's look at it and get you to think about it couple thing before we do
that
unwanted
think about your own social identity
julia larach
what you look like
what bring to the table
but unfortunately it's also
what other people think that you are
that's also part of your social identity
what people think you are how they play c
i want you to think about your social life and you know what you think about
this term entity
many different definitions for everything i said we define empathy is
having some understanding try national understanding what somebody on the other
side of the best might be going through
where they say you may not get it from
or you don't really know unless you walk in mind
my shoes
so explore some of these
uh... concepts
and once again think about it
what cyber times do you walk on one side defense to your students will come
the first one of the pages of
this is a system of advantage based on ebay it's either going
asian real world percy
from a faculty do we have here in the street
baser instincts
please keep 'em up per second
has to stop it to you re
too young to be here
carriers do dinner you teacher
the teacher
me time to get back
engineer who oversee
well you know
you're too young you don't have enough life experience
those are what high school kids tell me high school kids i work with yesterday
can you say that water please
errr
disaster
has come up to her nascar
what can i learn from you
because of her
major pursued age
what do you have to offer
i think that again
by the end of the semester in a different take on it
as you can fill them out probably
and admit guilt here
you raise your hand and faculty
i want to be doing this sir
when right here while commendable sir
well okay
let me ask you this
and he would never hear this
but your name sir
therefore somebody with twenty-five thirty thirty-five years on this campus
i think i mean i i deserve the clouds
per se
do
commendable
it's commendable
here in this profession
from your colleagues is
with the she have to offer
these young would person uppers coming on board today
they don't have any life experience
and what i hear from the other end of the spectrum is
while
and i do let me you need to go in a row wait too long
just because they had about a mile an hour
but that led to doubt the pastor
out of time
and connect with the kids you know the students
uh...
north and it seems like weather here uh... you're young
or whether you're old either real or perceived you've got some kind of
drama surrounding you and all the road seems to be
okay
but what i hear over and over again from high school kids in college kids that
ideal weight is that adults and teenagers are constantly putting them
down
telling them what do you know
you are too young you don't have enough life experience
sit down
that's powerful
i don't know about you but some of the most insightful things i've heard of
come from
the muppet babies
young kids are kids that i deal with in the community
you're constantly shut
story right next door used to be uh... mcdonnell douglas
now boeing
a guided thirty-plus years quality employees came to work every day did a
great job manage it went up to and said hey fred
for phasing out of your position
the game of golden handshake him a couple extra bucks send out the door
three months later who neighboring interesting job
don t
name with that name imply
you know young guy right yeah i was a young guy
syntactic siddhartha anyway you know
right out of college less and less benefits
the guy and
filed a lawsuit basically through the ages of
and won some money
system on the manage based on
ornate alive and well in our society
were really bothers me about the end of the road you know right now for me
is uh...
agoda denny's when my mom and dad they're getting that senior discount not
mapped
but something that
is that a system of the church
if you will see how you get a discount
system of a manager for young show your
student i_d_
nominated for but at this
movie theaters system of advantage
this is a system that we're fighting for also fighting a battle is over
a system of advantage based on a daily weather york able-bodied when you get a
physical emotional or mental disability
now for most of the issue
as we were able bodied
probably very very few challenge isn't trying to maneuver and navigate around
this campus
national party
some of the physical motion or mental disability national challenges
in over the years
as we have a lot of striving to be a dat make colleges and other public places
worldwide
we made strides
but if you're able bodied wildlife on the side effects you may not have the
epitome what do you understand what some of your student population
who have these challenges are going through
i will give you an example
true story
i don't talk about my wife i'm talking about her again
she cannot be permitted to tell these stories
in order to go to camp as a youth leader
she has about three hundred volunteers who chooses to do
camp rap and and uh... you know what your dictation facilitation trade all
that
so she has
camp ravenous everyone she held her volunteer staff to the same standards
are paid staff which means
she has volunteered
signed up to shop at eight o'clock on saturday morning from capita chick
section to be there
so she's all the account that downtown on a saturday morning
and one of the volunteers comes in an hour and a happily
he can't wait to the break just lay into a right
now let me this ride
this volunteer social identity
at the time of own jab at the time jugglers seventeen years old
high school
uh... kid
into a wheelchair
african-american baggy clothing employers here in greatest
and just as i will sign of how many times do you think joe meeting up with
comments like
while who did you banquet
wow when did you get shot in a drive-by
he gets it all the time
the reality is joe has nothing to do with gains
he's a role model student he was instrumental in forming the first human
relations club on his high school campus
he's received accolades and awards for the work program human relations and his
wife wheelchairs not because
he was shot to drive i have nothing to do with these
but he has passed its cerebral palsy that's why he said wheelchair
they get set stuff all the time
at the break my wife today what's up joe winding thinking this there's a lot how
do you come in a row quake
joe in his wheelchair looks in his lab looks up at least of my wife
and starts to relate to her
while he was an hour and a half point
after speaking with him in gave me a little bit of it
insight
having a little empathy in a paradigm shift ultimately
she realized that he got up at the crack a dot to try to get there before eight
o'clock to help or passed out the materials
but because
he lives in london to live on rapid transit
we got to the bus stop
he waited for bus
after bus after bus
to go buy because none of the wheelchair ramps were supposedly working
they talk about my wife having a little
paradigm shift
because she's able-bodied
she walks through life on this side
to get to the camp at that point on she had to do is what darden
the steps of our house
yet and then you can turn the key and go very few challenge
for somebody with the physical emotional or mental disability
teresa challenge
next is and that we're going to explore
is sexism
he says that mom and dad is based on what
and face tax
politically-correct now i would say that he adds based on gender right
we say sex is based on sex *** sexism is in the work
based on sex whether you're male or female who's got more that it is men or
women
never doing that
parentals miscellany doll
you know it's coming back the other way
men have one man and his folks
the last step i stopped
for the uh... the same job no matter what we're doing to the bottom and gets
seventeen who want to get seventy cents to seventy six and a better what's that
the dollar demand getting
position is
you know yesterday
at a hundred ten people in my class of the mentor
ninety percent
what gender
orange county *** who is the group
lovable administrator so its all time
all-women mostly teachers
system of advantage based on
men and women
have a sex offender
avenue buzz one
alive and well welt
sexism is just about advantage based on whether you're heterosexual
when you're gay and lesbian bisexual transgender
or questioning
and i usually practice this particular doesn't
and saying based on my experience in taking this for years
i know that people come to the table
with religious ethical
feelings about this particular isn't it
we all did
perhaps
but why do you think about it in a context of aberdyfi and ask the question
who's got more advantageous people daughter straighter people that are gay
basis
suppose mary something like this
states countries dealing with as we speak from anyone in mary tillotson
paperwork to do a couple of oklahomans going to happen
two partners to mail to me females one to get married ain't gonna happen
uh... excuse me
in december your department
may have a holiday party
and everybody is invited
and if you had a *** you're going to bring your significant other here wipe
your husband
to the party
and if you're gay
you know what the answer is for the are as vp
u_n_ no
but maybe you are
what would your colleagues
figure field by showed up with my
and once again that speaks to
what kind of environment you have even within your little silos
you've got a culture of long beach city college in the of the local culture is
going on
mediation department history department speech department law enforcement
department always
beautiful departments
depending on where you look at what the culture is like and what the culture
will tolerate
what they do all tolerate
dictates many times when you're going to bring
you're certain your partner significant
and for your students that are gay lesbian bisexual transgender
holy smokes
macam
one of those dialogue groups
here's a man
devastating things that are happening to them from
their peers and their teachers
you know
at the average high school students
in america
will hear prop of course of one day
twenty-five anti-gay epithets
you're getting that spirit act on the back gate
twenty five times a day
in about ninety percent of time teachers failed to address it
artist speed
they call the african-american kid
on what we're doing we'll know sent him down to the principal or not we can have
that
so when you see him
anatoly
unionized
this group of kids
in this
what's that culture all about
called the power of words working jerry one of you
and where the school administration on the high school campus
but don't tolerate what they want
where they please value
investors and racism
i like talking about racism
you know why
anybody know why
comes alive and well
and just to make matters worse
move the country
whose history anybody history
features history
edited by me
ought to wednesday
inside
a copy we didn't know i got better things to do
all right so we know that this country has struggled for many many years in
regards to race relations and that wall
continue in my opinion
but i think would also
is prevalent and alive and well
so i'll throw out the form of a question
racism is just a white black black brown white asian black asian think or do you
think there exists racism within the same racial group
and racial racism
there's racism in
drama going on in each
of these groups
when i walk on a high school campus in a long day
or anywhere for that matter
it's nutritional it's lunch outlaw contradict
to the plot and what do you see the clock
all these different class
also could be
air all that
millions
alright guys here are black eyes here the cheerleaders shake their heads and
they're all middle class
hawkeyes
kids about this dynamic one of the things that go out there for that
i think about
is that they take them with a close look at
the group may rent
they might find that they only have one thing in common
with a difference
and then nothing more than skin color
let me take a risk and stepped out into one of the other groups
may be trying to capitalize six things in common
and indeed that our friends
and somebody from another group but we all know that peer pressure is of killer
i wasn't aware of that
fabulous regardless
well if that happens if that's happening and had no reason to believe you tell me
matters colleges would build better racial separate donors
i can tell you
then in the african-american
and i went to a known norms
there's something else going on
you guys
even within the african-american and latino community there separating
valuating
caitlyn people
based on shady in the african-american community
much more valuable extended dot c_n_n_ marlin
lights here
and we'll let you know hispanic community what's more valued like skin
or dark skin
light-skinned
when you turn on
not these yes channel thirty four fifty two when you look at the news casters a
lot more white than me
when you look at liberal arts and posters in advertisements
light colored
contacts and light colored skin seems to be more valued in the african-american
latino community true story
friends of ours latino company committee of
couple
they're both light-skinned
they had a very first baby
there in the hospital at the hospital
but the baby came out conduct our
but
let me finish my story
d'addario

thank you
the
and that's a good question
was tanning booth at the hospital
duplicate i don't know why
i didn't have issue with that
there for a couple hours watching the family and friends show up
unbelievable
family coming to see the very first child in some cases the very first
grandchild they come to ride of the sample

greed drove me and i
a
slept here

complimented
and that was one of my mentors
in the police force is retired from long beach police department teachers here
uh... national like that
people who will always find something
about that
island winding down couple more as i was in orlando
with russia
alive and well as we speak today
what's been happening in the middle east two thousand years what's been happening
in ireland catholics protestants killing my mother or momma
will do all i think but they're all
now the killing one another for religious oppression
and the last one i want i guess the columnist on
it's classism
the addresses we have not seen a great
that although uh... racism will continue to play our communities
mostly i think classes and it's going to be a bigger issue here
but a lot of people think that classes jeff a money issue
it's not
please always remember some other
uh... classes stations that are alive and well in this
education level thank you
opportunity
lost
all the time
rustic items right
without a job position
anything else
yes
in the back
ancestry
waikato
without language
usually waited on you
neighborhood what do you live delivered to you long yes sir
you're absolutely right
lady
uh... we watched
dollar watchdog task force
innocuous folder stricter developing curriculum anti boring curriculum
because
furstenberg taking place in a direct result of that
somebody can isolate it because of one of these factors perhaps
it's the same thing we're talking about votes
hammond indiana education evidently
somebody said we are real
or what kind of a degree
do you have
when hitler
rob where did you get your degree
albeit a key issue
he'll get you agree
classism is alive and well even in academia
i was sitting on the panel
a few years ago a national panel on hate crimes
decided that i cheat
i was on the stand very distinguished with everybody that
doctors in the field
they're going around
talking at the first lady
five let's talk to the side
and five
aggressor asking
well it was that i was just
thinking at all and
you know where to be a great time
all these questions he asked me
where do you have your degree from you know what kind of a degree do you have
and at the time
this is about twenty years ago i had only high school
headphones sorry we don't have a degree of his high school
for the rest of the day they would not have anything to do with me
dot of this morning your college
you faculty
where are you
classified
now let me tell you something
the fact that this college
brought together
classified in faculty
you don't see that every place
you don't see that every place i travel all over the country
evans got their own separate stuff going on in our things are starting to change
because if we're talking about going to say is that what was said
school community for all
kids
an agent of all of you
state holders injury when he played a vital role in that
should be at the table
based on
we're going to wind down the road
pieces of this
manner
i have to think about a couple days as we explore the citizens
your social identity
which side affects the avon or mark on what side of my senior students line up
and i'd ask you to think about city as well
he had everybody on the school campus although we are still lose out
outlander yesterday so while they live on this side of that's where they got a
lot of manage coming your way
no i don't know that
ready for them
bad impression
straight up there
to where they want to go
blueberry challenges
understood so while i'm on this side
thanks we don't have the same advantages
we still have the opportunity for believe it
but they're lookin out for the elevator
and there's not another anywhere in sight
lovingly dash steps it hurts
and maybe even spikes
arrangements challenges
now just let me know i mean what i would like
will be vigilante walks through life everyday what side of that's the side
i want to live as a middle-class bill lady
straight white guy
caroline
i got a lot of damage coming my way
and guess what
take advantage of everything that comes my way
to very self-assured
and although i walked a lot of undecided that's right is not an elevator
ready for me taking strength to i want to go i'd try to instill in my kids they
try to live my life to try to bring other people on board
that's a whole try to make a difference peeps
are to make the difference
your hardest in his eye on the issue
whether your classified faculty you're always just as important as a person
next to you
since he has a number of people complementary skills
email basically for the class early may not be suited for classify job which are
all part of this but i don't think committed to a common purpose
when it comes to this job i think there is as i've mentioned no higher calling
going to be in a position
by such a vital role
role in the lives of our young people
and i wanted to see
personally committed each and every one of you
for doing the job
that you
that's all the time i happened when i thank you very much for
