1. the purity of mathematics
There is no bigotry in math. The numbers know no color, no race, no creed, no language.

Maybe if we could universalize the teaching of mathematics, from pre-school counting rhymes through advanced calculus, we could reach a point where learning ability is accepted, biases are reduced or eliminated, and all can learn with equal opportunity.
