ower from unearned privilege can look likestrength whenit is in fact permission to escape or to dominate. But not all ofthe privileges on mylist are inevitably damaging. Some, like the expectationthat neighbors will be decentto you, orthat your race will not count against you in court, shouldbe the norm in ajust society. Others, like the privilege to ignore less powerful people, distortthe humanity of the holders as well asthe ignored groups.
The term unearned privilege is eye opening to me .

Anti Bias education has a multitude of components to it, but I believe that as a whole it is making sure that not only does everyone have the opportunity to have a seat at the table and share their perspective.

This is similar into social justice teaching in terms of making sure that the end goal is that all children have the ability to achieve their fullest potential. Going to down the list of what an anti bias classroom look like, there is mentioning of making sure every student's experience is equal , that they have access to be an active participant in education, and most importantly that they and their families feel included and safe.
