In reply to the discussion: Pompeo attacks multiculturalism on Twitter: 'Our enemies stoke these divisions' [View all]no_hypocrisy
(55,605 posts)I drafted and taught a multicultural program in every subject, but always returning to culture. Arts. Dance. Music. Stories.
I taught the kids vocabulary in Spanish, Patwa (French), Swahili, Mandarin Chinese, International Sign Language, reflecting ALL their backgrounds.
I taught American History which included the myriad of contributions from African-Americans and Asian immigrants. I had the kids come with me to the Museum of History to see the pyramid to show the beginnings of organized civilization.
BTW, I was the only white person in the school. I did a lot of research to give my students what they needed. I turned white privilege on its head -- and again, this is almost 40 years ago. We were more progressive than the NYC public schools.
So, in closing, screw you Michael R. Pompeo. It's the only way to stop you from speaking out of your ass.
