Mix of cultures urged in schools in Central New York
Parents of foreign born children in Central New York urge daily multicultural education in schools. They want classrooms to reflect and teach about Korea, Japan, Russia, South Africa and other cultures, not just one culture once a year. Experts note demographic shifts show rising minority populations. Syracuse schools began preparing in 1989 for broader multicultural education to benefit all students.
