In their essays‚ both Anyon and Gatto’s made a similar and critical argument that schools have been teaching an "invisible curriculum". In his essay "The seven-lesson school teacher"‚ Gatto pointed out that the 12-year elementary education is no less than a jail sentence where "bad habits" (p.19) are the only curriculum have been learned (P.19). Anyon‚ in his "Social Class and The Hidden Curriculum of Work" also implied that there is a hidden curriculum being learned when students are only taught

White people are put at an advantage with an “invisible knapsack of privileges”. 2. There is a link between real estate value and school segregation.

Now‚ after watching the film Crash and reading the essays “Blinded by the White: Crime‚ Race and Denial at Columbine High” written by Tim Wise and “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” written by McIntosh‚ my understanding of race‚ diversity‚ and communications have changed.

Racism in Canada has been demonstrated clearly by the sense of “whiteness” or white privilege. Just as there are racial identities of color in Canada‚ there is also a white racial identity.

distorting of historical information about people of color leads people of all ages to make assumptions that may go unchallenged for a long time. Along similar lines of thought‚ Peggy McIntosh notes in her essay “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” that “when I am told about our national heritage or about ‘civilization’‚ I am shown that people of my color made it what it is” (395). It is clear when reading feminist literature‚ that representations of groups of people have long term affects
