Rameck is a bright child, but his curiosity and intelligence are not nurtured in a way that suits his learning style. Instead, he is labeled disruptive, and the school considers placing him in special education despite his capabilities.

This begs the question: Is special education the new segregation?

What a great model of servant leadership.

YES! YES! YES! President Niemi. LOVE MY NEW JOB!   "...Not only are our students deeply interested in understanding the conflicts and complexities of the world, they also demonstrate the desire to act—to engage in discussion with us, to find out what they can do to help make change. To be that change.    And we—faculty and staff alike—are uniquely equipped to help our students, and by extension our community, learn about these things, for what is public higher education if not a place where we can demonstrate how respectful civil discourse happens? A place where hard things can be debated, where people can disagree and still learn? A place where democracy is practiced without fear?    Higher education is the space where we are supposed to make powerful, thoughtful, respectful noise. Our students deserve to hear it and to be part of it." Nancy Niemi
