Abstract
This paper proposes schools diversify educational programs to combat inequities perpetuated by school choice. For example, the Montessori method, which contains social and emotional development aspects, also decenters the instructor, therein reducing unconscious bias to non-majority students. Federal funding mechanisms have not adequately recognized the efficacy of alternative educational programs and thus limited the viability of such programs in school choice systems.
