Which action would NOT be an instrument of social justice in a school?

• A. Campaigning in the school cafeteria fora political candidate in an upcoming election.
• B. Participating in restorative justice initiatives.
• C. Implementing culturally responsive teaching.
• D. Providing access to resources equitably.

Answer: (A)

Social justice in schools means creating a fair, inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to learn and participate without bias or barriers. Campaigning for a political candidate in the school cafeteria wouldn’t support that goal because it uses school space and time to promote a particular political view, which can politicize the learning environment and pressure students or staff. Schools are meant to foster neutrality and focus on equitable education for all, not endorsements or political campaigning. The other actions align with social justice: restorative justice initiatives aim to repair harm and address underlying inequities; culturally responsive teaching validates diverse backgrounds and improves engagement; providing equitable access to resources ensures every student has what they need to succeed.
