The Contradictions of Diversity.

Houston, Paul D.

School Administrator, v56 n6 p6-7 May 1999

Issues of race, language, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are fundamentally issues of fear and trust. People are simply uncomfortable with those who strike them as different. Educators' challenge is to widen the circle of familiarity. The seven essays in this special issue emphasize the strengths arising from differences. (MLH)
