"With Liberty and Justice for ALL: Multicultural Education in Wisconsin"--Preparing for the Voyage of Starship Wisconsin-NAME
Carl A. Grant
Multicultural Perspectives, v26 n2 p83-90 2024
According to the author, "With Liberty and Justice for ALL: Multicultural ]Education in Wisconsin" is a most appropriate and befitting title for a National Association For Multicultural Education (NAME) conference in this moment -- an extraordinarily divided time -- in Wisconsin and U. S. history. As keynote speaker at this pre-voyage briefing, the author plans to share a few thoughts about the social structure and the aims of the society where the mission will take attendees to, to put in place multicultural education. NAME will be engaging in orchestrating plans for teaching and learning that are omitted and/or discouraged by many, whitewashed and/or misrepresented by many others, and taught and/or learned by few. To teach "liberty and justice for all" demands first acknowledging that the conceptualization and putting forth the idea ["liberty and justice for all"] was initially more exclusive than inclusive, in that only white men who own property were included. Black people, Indigenous people, and other People of Color, and all women were not included in the "All." Accomplishing what no one else has accomplish before -- Multicultural Education in all schools in Wisconsin -- demands putting into practice a harmonious working partnership between intercultural education and multicultural education at its highest conceptualization of social justice, where equality, equity, cultural recognition, persons with disability, economic differences, LBGTQ+ are included and flourishing in full blossom. The author's hopefulness is in part conditioned by the following: The belief America can be "that" America -- in spirit and action-- as the author states, we dream about where "We the People" is dedicated to the ideals -- as expressed in -- the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, with a special pride in the final five words of The Pledge of Allegiance -- acknowledging that a dichotomy existed between the authors' words stated within these documents and the authors' everyday actions.
