       Quinoa（藜麥）is a type of seed that comes in various colors including black, red, yellow, and white. The plant has been cultivated for about 5,000 years and is grown in the Andean region of South America, specifically Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru. After the seeds are harvested they 31 processing to remove a bitter-tasting chemical compound coating the exterior that acts as a natural pesticide. Due to the differing levels of maturity of the seeds 32 within one plant, quinoa is usually harvested by hand, for seed losses may occur if mechanically harvested. However, in the U.S., seed varieties that have a more consistent maturity are selected to 33 for mechanical processing. Though technically a seed, quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. One cup cooked provides about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. 34 some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. Quinoa is also naturally gluten-free and can be eaten 35 if one has gluten intolerance.

       Wilhelm Grimm and his older brother Jacob studied German folklore and oral traditions and published a collection of stories eventually known as Grimms’ Fairy Tales（格林童話）which includes stories like Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood. Several of the brothers’ tales have been adapted into successful TV shows and movies. Although the two brothers are famous for sharing the classic tales bearing their name, there are some facts that most people might not have known about them.

       Despite the fact that Jacob and Wilhelm are often associated with Snow White and Rapunzel, the brothers didn’t actually write any of those stories. In fact, the stories existed long before the two men were born in Germany in the mid 1780s. The fairy tales, in fact, were part of a rich oral tradition—passed down from generation to generation, often by women seeking to pass the time during household chores. But as industrialization took root, local traditions changed and scholars, like Jacob and Wilhelm, began a quest to save the stories from extinction. They interviewed relatives and friends, collecting whatever tales they could, sometimes even making small changes to make them more appealing. In 1812, Jacob and Wilhelm published the stories as part of a collection titled Nursery and Household Tales, or what is now referred to as Grimms’ Fairy Tales.

       Originally, Grimms’ Fairy Tales were not meant for children. The stories regularly included sex, violence, and copious footnotes. Worse yet, they didn’t even have illustrations. Initially aimed at adults, the early editions of Nursery and Household Tales contained unusually dark elements. In its original version, for example, Rapunzel became pregnant after a casual fling. In Cinderella, the stepsisters cut off their toes and heels to try to fit into the slipper. These sorts of scenes were eventually revised once the stories became popular among children.

       The world is changing and people are going to have to learn to get along. Being exposed to and building relationships with people who look different can help us to have better attitudes and be more positive about other races and cultures. In 2017, researchers from UCLA published research showing a wide range of personal and social benefits for students of all races and ethnicities from attending ethnically diverse schools. The study found that middle school students from a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds feel safer, less lonely and less bullied if they attend schools that are more diverse. The study also found that students in diverse schools—those with multiple ethnic groups of relatively equal size—reported more tolerance and less prejudice toward students of other ethnicities and believe teachers treat all students more fairly and equally.

       Underscoring the importance of these findings, the study’s authors point out that the nation’s population has become significantly more diverse and will become even more so. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, as of 2015 more than half of school-age youth in the United States were ethnic minority. By 2040 White students will no longer be the majority in our nation’s public schools. Yet today, U.S. schools have become more segregated than at any time in the past 40 years. Immigration is changing everything. We need to realize it is in everybody’s interest for schools and classrooms to be more racially diverse. Diversity enhances learning because divergent points of view challenge students’ own beliefs.
