RE: Response to Charles Ratliff's "A Different Perspective"

JUDITH JAMES: I AGREE WITH YOUR PRECIOUS INSIGHT '; nor have we 
revised our hiring standards to ensure prospective educators 
(K-16) possess those qualifications that will stimulate ALL 
students with diverse learning styles TO WANT TO LEARN and 
ultimately SUCCEED.'
AND IF ANY BODY NEEDS ANY FURTHER MOTIVATION BEYOND MORALITY, 
LET'S RECOGNIZE THAT BY THE YEAR 2010, WE CALIFORNIA RETIREES 
WILL BE 3/4'S ANGLO, OUR WORK FORCE WILL BE 2/3'S PERSONS OF 
COLOR. SO OUR OLD AGE SECURITY DEPENDS UPON OUR EDUCATING - TO 
THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL, EACH CALIFORNIA CHILD OF COLOR.
THAT MEANS WE MUST APPRECIATE, WELCOME, AND RELATE COMFORTABLY 
WITH ALL FORMS OF DIVERSITY, AS WELL AS GROW TO KNOW AND 
APPRECIATE THE EMERGING RESEARCH REGARDING 'MULTIPLE 
INTELLIGENCES.
