Notes	Stigma exists in our society today. This thesis examines how stigma is present within classrooms, and what teachers can do to eliminate this kind of discrimination. I examine laws that have tried to reduce segregation of schools; and I look at Erving Goffman’s theory of stigma in relation to educational literature examining discrimination in classrooms. I extend prior research by studying how racial stigma in classrooms can be shaped by teachers’ behaviors. I conclude that different methods, along with acceptable teacher-student relationships, must be present for stigmatization to be eliminated and for all children to learn in school equally.
