Glazer (education and sociology, Harvard U.) asserts that, willingly or not, we have all become multiculturalists and the melting pot no longer defines Americans. From this astute acknowledgement, he extrapolates on the main issues facing public education, examining the questions of whose "truth" we recognize in curriculums, the effect of multiculturalism on national unity, civil harmony in an atmosphere attended to social injustices, and debates centered on whether such curriculums enhance learning or promote irrelevance.
