Dealing with Hate to Boost Multiculturalism in Colleges/Schools of Education
Obiakor, Festus E.
Multicultural Learning and Teaching, v16 n1 p29-44 2021
Hate has always been a part of our lives and world. We have rationalized about it and pretended that it is a personality difference that is not very harmful and hurtful. However, hate continues to be devastating and visible in the forms of discrimination, racism, xenophobia, linguistic superiority, religious bigotry, Messiah Complex, White supremacy, and prejudice, to mention a few. At Colleges/Schools of Education (C/SOE) and their respective colleges and universities, hate and its related problems continue to manifest themselves in these institutions in divergent ways, thereby making them unsafe, unhealthy, and uncomfortable environments to culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) and vulnerable individuals who have been traditionally devalued, disenfranchized, disadvantaged, and disillusioned. In this article, I discuss the dangers of hate in C/SOE and recommend what we can do to boost multiculturalism in these educational environments.
