Pernicious effects are stated as woman and men are not equal and woman are supposed to be mothers and not think for themselves. The more wealth you have though the more you can do because woman can be doctors, political leaders and such. People that aren't wealthy though are expected to be mothers and men are supposed to rule their life.

Woman can be seen as property in this essay because they said women were charms to men. It said woman advanced in society by their charms and in my mind that means their body, what they could give. Men were the ones who gained most of the respect.

Diversity in schools according to Kozol is taught as history and it should be presented as a modern day issue as well. Most diversity is taught because school's have little diversity to show for. This person believes that Martin Luther King would still say that we have immoral segregation. Teachers are teaching students a lie. My definition would be that school diversity happens more in college than in high school. But I still believe students are taught that segregation is in the past and now we are non segregated. We definitely are still segregated in some aspects especially in the southern states. College is a place where many different races are so it's easier to learn about new cultures on your own. Schools does tell about segregation but it is sugarcoated. 

Woodson means by mis education is that people believe that African Americans were too poor to learn and that they were told that basically "white is right" and they were told that their people weren't good enough. They were told that their people were either self educated or uneducated. No one talks about how they were once slaves and that's what put lots of them into poverty to where they couldn't learn.They have been told what they could do for centuries and what they should do. The author believes there will be no change because of the way the African Americans have been told to live by white people.
