Discuss the authors' view that multicultural education gives us the opportunity to "engender acceptance, if not love, of all differences that are not destructive of the human experience."
What will be an ideal response?
It would be trite to suggest that we can love and accept all humans even if we find their actions to be deplorable. And, it would be morally wrong to accept the actions of people when they do physical or psychological harm to others. However, beyond those restraints, we should be able to accept the fact that people from different places with different life experiences than our own are different, and that difference does not suggest a hierarchy of moral or intellectual superiority. We should at least be able to get along with people who are different from us, as long as that difference is not about them harming others.
