Why has multicultural education generally been associated with social studies, language arts, and music and not science or math?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: For example, when multicultural education was first introduced, it was in these subjects in which it seemed the easiest to infuse. Unfortunately, it became associated with the “softer” subjects and not the “hard” subjects such as science, math, physics, chemistry, and so on. The mistake was in the heavy focus on content and less so on diverse teaching strategies. Additionally, there was an overly strong focus on race and racism which made infusion into other subjects seemingly more problematic.
