Multiculturalism in Schools
The thing that i can remember about culturalism being taught in school was just events that took place during black history month. Now all major minorities in our country are trying to get times of the year set aside to remember their heritage. Like i said last week this is not multiculturalism. One of the articles discussed the difference in curriculums in school. It discussed that cosmopolitanism was teaching about all cultures as they fit into the curriculum. Ethic loyalist believe these times of the year where their culture is set aside and discusses is vital for their history. I agree with the view of the cosmopolitanism. Each culture and outstanding people from each culture should be recognized, but just as they fit into curriculums. If each culture gets a separate time to be remembered, then it will further set back each individual cultures from other ones. Another article entitled Multiculturalism in School Environments agrees with my point on the view of how to handle the history of each culture in the classroom. This argument will continue for many years because the debates get more and more heated every year that these events happen.
