[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family just participated in Multicultural Week at the Lower School at SSSAS. I was amazed at the variety of programs offered (rice tasting, Irish dancing, book discussions, Mandarin reading, Karate demonstration, Native American blessing) and the high community involvement. [/quote] Rice tasting and karate demonstrations for multicultural week? Is that what happens when a school is full of kids whose parents don't have any friends of another race/ethnicty? I don't mean to single out St Stephens, but I really didn't think schools still did these kinds of shallow "awareness" events. It reminds me of when my elementary school principal (back in the 70s) asked my father to cook for "Tolerance Night" since she assumed he worked in a Chinese restaurant. I am fascinated about the inclusion of Irish dancing. I thought the Irish have been considered white since JFK. [/quote]
