In years past, educational systems often focused exclusively on mainstream culture. these systems

focused on teaching from one cultural group and its traditions, suggesting then

that other

cultural groups and their traditions were not worth studying. goodness

that trend

is changing. as educational systems increase their acceptance of other people's family traditions

', we will probably see educational materials that include more authors

who might fall outside the accepted bunch of school resources

offering students a heap

of voices to learn from and enjoy.
