I came across this quote and wondered if people on this listserv agree:

Merriam and Caffarella (1999), pg. 342 state: "Among the
characteristics of people that engender prejudice and oppression in
American society, race, class, and gender are three of the most powerful
and pervasive."

Do you agree with the above? Do you think that there are other
characteristics that engender oppressions that are as powerful and
pervasive as the ones listed above? 

What about the ABE classroom, the ESL classroom?
