Adapting to Diversity Through Advocacy and Universal Design for Learning

Adapting to Diversity Through Advocacy and Universal Design for Learning

Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?”

Expedience asks the question, “Is it political?”

Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?”

But conscience asks the question, “Is it right?”

And there comes a time when one must take a position

that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular,

but it must be made because conscience says that it is right!

Martin Luther King Jr. (n.d.)
