Reducing Hate through Multicultural Education and Transformation is a
book that reminds us that we live in a complex world; and at micro and
macro levels, the demography is changing and people are worried about
the current state of affairs, their future, and the future of their
children. At local, national, and global levels, there appears to be
unsteadiness, crises, and struggles in our economies, politics, and
societies. Disruptions, disasters, and deaths are visible at all
spectra of our lives; and our leaders seem unready, unwilling,
underprepared, and unprepared to bring us together to solve our
problems for the common good. Even when we make efforts to respond to
human differences and multicultural valuing, they seem to be
half-baked cakes that are unready for consumption; and there continues
to be visible hateful actions that devastate our sacred existence.
While these hateful actions have filtered into our families, schools,
communities, nation, and world, we pretend to solve them by engaging
in phony community relations, fraudulent multiculturalism, and
unreasonable “wokeness” to masquerade our inefficiency,
inflexibility, prejudice, and jaundiced views. Reducing Hate through
Multicultural Education and Transformation provides cutting edge
solutions for innovative educators and leaders. Yes, hate is a
controversial construct that is rarely researched, studied, and
discussed in education. The reason is that teachers and related
professionals are supposedly very liberal people who cannot hate their
culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students, parents, and
colleagues. And, the lingering question is, can a teacher who is
always liberal be also hateful? This question seems legitimate; and,
to answer it, we must look deeper into traditional presumptions. The
reality is that White educators and professionals who dominate the
educational profession are human-beings who live in their respective
White dominated communities. As a result, they teach or lead people
who they do not know very well. If not, why should CLD individuals
continue to experience hateful misidentifications, misassessments,
miscategorizations, misplacements, and misinstructions in school
programs? And, why should disproportionate placements of CLD learners
with special education needs, gifts and talents, and
emotional/behavioral problems continue to be burning issues in
education? This book provides outside-the-box solutions!
