intangible, there is no doubt that it has contributed significantly

Just what is reality? Is reality created by the way individuals
interpret and bring meaning to their experiences and thoughts of
others past and present? Or does reality consist of parallel
perceptions of experiences with the individuals in control forcing
their reality on others? Quantum Realities: Educational
Truthtelling in an Era of Alternative Facts answers these
questions, from multiple perspectives, and proposes how other forms
of reality might be worth of more consideration as we strive to
eradicate much of the social, political, economic, and educational
disparities that currently plague our great nation. Anthony Walker,
Charles Lowery, and Cornell Thomas' Quantum Realities includes
readings on moral philosophy, democratic educational thruth,
intentional inclusion, moral elements of philosophy, a furture for
our country, and much more. The publication also includes Anthony
Walker's Power of Words: A Letter to Learners. To facilitate
learning, introductions, conclusions, and references are included
for all 14 readings. In addition, questions are included at the end
of each reading to spark classroom discussion and debate.
