What measures should be taken to discourage discriminatory behavior in school curriculums and ensure that all students are treated equally?
user
To ensure that students are treated equally in the classroom, schools should implement a consistent and supportive set of guidelines around acceptable behavior. For example, policies such as zero-tolerance policies that punish all acts of discrimination and bias incidents must be clearly communicated to both students and staff. Additionally, educators should receive ongoing training on culturally responsive teaching techniques and unconscious bias. Lastly, a school wide focus on inclusion and respect for all can create an environment where every student has the same opportunity to learn without experiencing discrimination from peers or faculty.

Schools should regularly review their curriculums to ensure that all material included is free of any discriminatory sentiment or language. They should also ensure diversity among the staff teaching those classes in order to make sure that topics covered do not create a bias against certain demographics. Additionally, school policies on conduct must be clearly stated and consistently enforced; this includes punishing any student- or staff-initiated discrimination or harassment. Finally, teacher education programs can help to eliminate prejudice by teaching potential educators techniques for avoiding bias in the classroom.
