Our contemporary society is characterized by diversity between traditionalists and multiculturalists in the ever growing debate on the equality of non-whites and whether their culture should be incorporated in school curriculums. Traditionalists defend the importance of a European based culture in the curriculum and believe that western history, literature, and culture are endangered due to the efforts of multiculturalists who are calling for radical curriculum reform and transformation[1]. The multicultural perspective argues for the non-whites culture emphasizing on the importance of teaching the history of civil rights movements in institutions.[1] Banks, James A. “Multicultural Education, Transformative Knowledge and Action: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives.
