racial ethnic cultural background.
5.2. History
The melting pot is a metaphor for a heterogeneous society becoming more homogeneous, the different elements "melting together" into a harmonious whole with a common culture. It is particularly used to describe the assimilation of immigrants to the USA; the melting-together metaphor was in use by the 1780s.
After 1970 the desirability of assimilation and the melting pot model was challenged by proponents of multiculturalism, who assert that cultural differences within society are valuable and should be preserved, proposing the alternative metaphor of the mosaic, salad bowl – different cultures mix, but remain distinct.
What were schools like before multicultural education?
+ School curriculums were focused on white superiority.
+ Textbooks were about “white” history and all their
accomplishments.
+ Diversity was not part of the educational environment.
+There was a “policy of assimilating minority groups into the
melting pot of dominant American culture”
(Sobol, 1990).
+The educational system did not encourage and accept the
differences, similarities, and overall diversity that many
cultures bring to the United States.
