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!
