1) The author believes that a multicultural education should be part of every student's academic experience in order to appreciate diversity and end prejudice. Exposing students to different cultures through school can help generate respect for differences. 2) The author argues it is important to expose children to diversity in school because it can alter assumptions and stereotypes. A multicultural education creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels appreciated. 3) A multicultural education is more than just exposing students to other cultures. Schools must embrace diverse students and engage with different cultures by refining curriculum to exhibit equality for all.
