Editorial: Multicultural Education--Solution or Problem for American Schools?
Cochran-Smith, Marilyn
Journal of Teacher Education, v52 n2 p91-93 Mar-Apr 2001
Discusses the role of multicultural education in American education, examining Geneva Gay's book on culturally responsive teaching (which argues for culturally responsive teaching, with teaching having the moral courage to help make education more multiculturally responsive) and Sandra Stotsky's book (which argues that multicultural education is a problem for American schools and is anti-white, anti-capitalistic, and anti-intellectual).
