Equity for All
I was recently reading the July/August, 2020 issue of \u201cThe Science Teacher,\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cNotes from the Editor \u201c column written by Ann Haley MacKenzie.\xa0 Her article was entitled \u201cEquity for All: Essential for All Facets of the Scientific Enterprise.\u201d
