Better than just acceptance

It is important to teach minority children the language of power because they are the ones most impacted by its downfall. The minority children feel the most outcast and suffer the most because the other students and teachers do not understand them. The students then view themselves as “bad” and that they themselves are in the wrong. However Delpit wants to give students courage to understand the value of the codes they possess. They should recognize that they are in the minority not because they are less right, but only because there is less of them in numbers. Acceptance is important for the individual level. However minorities are group that should not be ignored.
