Fostering broad awareness of how different cultures differ, and cultivating the empathy required for understanding, is a very long-term, yet essential goal. The guidance document is written in abstract jargon, which helps explain the many negative public comments, and needs to be followed up with benchmarks and plain-English advice and plans for implementing the goals. The goals are: self-awareness (extremely difficult); curriculum awareness; classroom awareness; and informed community engagement. (Whatever happened to conflict resolution training, and peer-to-peer counseling? That should be a fundamental part of this valuable aspirational initiative.)
