[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 77638005, member: 326155"] I don't think people outside a culture can teach that culture. It's certainly relevant for people to learn their own cultures, but public school isn't the place for it because public schools won't do it correctly. We black people were doing better before the government co-opted Black History Month. We are where we are, mostly in a land where the dominant culture is best described as "Anglo-American"...a lot of "Anglo" with a uniquely American pastiche formed from numerous other cultures, as well as home-grown. Success in this dominant Anglo-American culture is what public schools should be teaching. That gives people coming in from outside the culture the best opportunity to learn how to function within it. Public schools don't teach Judaic culture, young Jews go to their own sources of training for that...and are Jews economically or culturally disadvantaged for that? There's nothing wrong with code-switching. Chinese kids do it, Mexican kids do it, Indian kids do it. Every normally intelligent human being should be able to function in more than one social environment. [/QUOTE]
