Concept information
Preferred term
multicultural curriculum
Definition
- The curriculum in American public and private schools is a curriculum that tends to support the lifestyle of the White upper-middle and upper classes, the groups that determine both the ethos and the directionality of American society. Yet American educators must ask why the power structure overlooks the moral/ethical, intellectual, historical, and cultural traditions of nondominant ethnic groups.
