The world is made up of many different types of people, each with their own cultural background. Over the years, the United States has become increasingly populated with cultural diversity. This influx has prompted school administrators to recognize the need to integrate multicultural programs into their school environment, including classrooms, school-wide activities, and curriculum, as it becomes increasingly evident that the benefits of teaching cultural diversity in schools will positively influence our communities. and ultimately, the future of the entire nation. The purpose of this article is to share the pros and cons of multicultural education in the classroom. Additionally, I will express my views in relation to those of the reading requirements for this assignment, as well as the new knowledge gained through the research. Finally, I will share situations in which I was challenged to introduce a multicultural issue during a class. The United States has always been seen as a superior culture to which weaker cultures must adapt. However, this attitude has caused repression and conflicts between different cultures. As a result, activists have worked for years to promote cultural empowerment; thus, encouraging unity rather than cultural division for the strength of our nation as a whole. According to John Ogbu (1978), each “minority” group has a unique history in the United States that must be studied, understood, and validated to more authentically understand, support, and educate them. Education experts have responded to the general push for this unification by developing an interdisciplinary approach to the development of multicultural education. Effective ways to integrate it into their school community, while others believe that solving these problems is not their professional responsibility, should however be reserved for educators trained in social studies and civics courses, and indirectly supported in all other classrooms.
