Can we ever have an unbiased classroom.
Is it possible for a classroom to not be culturally biased? We look at test questions and realize that what we consider knowledge is biased, even the word choice is biased. In different countries different things may be the norm, such as the way someones vocabulary is. But is it possible to have a culturally unbiased classroom?

No we cannot. But does it matter?
The whole point of education is to get young people to THINK. And if achieved, they will see the bias for what it is. Reminds me of the quote:
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you
really make them think, they'll hate you.
