X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.3 (32) Status: RO Content-Length: 1332 Lines: 31 Do we need Multicultural Education in our schools .... check what the Kentucky Department of Education thinks! http://www.kde.state.ky.us/lpd/mcguide.html It is the program guidelines for multicultural education proposed to and passed by the Kentucky Department of Education. Good idea! .. .any comments? ... here is the Conclusion and I quote "In addition to compliance with the above citations, justification for education that is multicultural and nonbiased rests on two main premises: First, that pluralism is a reality of our society and second, that equality is a basic ideal of our American creed. The United States is becoming increasingly diverse, even in areas of the country that are relatively homogeneous today. Our nation and world are multicultural; education must also be multicultural to meet the present and future needs of our youth. To fully implement the egalitarian promises of our national creed, and to comply with the Kentucky Education Reform Act and Federal law, education programs and personnel in Kentucky must be committed to a social system and to practices wherein individual worth and dignity are inalienable. " A big hand for the Kentucky Board of Education! Any other state adopting something similar? ... If you know ... please post. Roderick Padilla This is my opinion and not GSU's
