Candidate’s Name: Frankmann, La’Dasha Reading Assignment Main Principles Reflective Comments Log: Immigration, Race, and Oppression American immigrants who arrived in the country hoping to start over and live the American dream encountered a harsh reality since they were treated like second-class foreigners rather than as Americans. Based on their home cultures, nationalities, religious convictions, and skin color, other U.S. "immigrants" oppressed them, inciting xenophobia among settlers. Before giving up their original customs, traditions, and languages and staying in the country for a set amount of time, immigrants weren't considered Americanized. In order to maintain oppression, this time period would fluctuate depending on skin tone or racial background. In early American society, one's skin tone determined how much privileged or harsh treatment they would receive, illustrating race and social injustice. All of the socioeconomic hardships that immigrants experienced were directly related to As we examine how America was established on immigration, race, and repressive injustices, thinking back on this week's readings has been an emotional and depressing experience. People who came to the New World with the hope of realizing their American ideals were met with socioeconomic hardship, racial division, and slavery. Strive for world peace and holiness, for without these things no one will see the Lord, says the Bible. Make sure that everyone receives God's grace and that no "root of bitterness" sprouts, causing problems and defiling many (New American Standard Bible, 2011; Hebrews 12:14–15). I would like to speculate as to what would have happened during the emancipation of the New World if colonists and settlers had adhered to God's ideals. Because God, according to the Bible, considered all men and women as equals, oppression, racial injustice, and social injustice against people of color and individuals from other ethnic origins are to blame for the numerous racial problems in contemporary American society. Because you are all one in Christ Jesus, there is

EDUC 848 their race, country of origin, and skin tone. The way white Americans or British Colonists treated you was determined by the color of their skin. Native Americans, Asians, African Americans, Italian Americans, and Jews have all suffered racial injustices in the United States. Racial oppression was created as immigrant colonists started to establish their authority and classify arriving immigrants based on their skin color as they arrived in the New World. Although all immigrants to the United States faced challenges and hostility, Koppelman (2020) asserts that being viewed as White initially or later proved to be a huge advantage. Due to this unfair advantage, all non-white Americans were subject to restrictions on their rights and way of life. no such thing as a Jew, a Gentile, a slave, or a free person. Galatians 3:28, New American Standard Version, 1995. Log: Addressing Racism and Classism in Schools Today This week's discussion was on racism and white America's failure to morally and intentionally integrate a multicultural and diverse socioeconomic structure for its people of color. With the entrance of the British into the New World, a wall of racial inequality was built, and it has persisted into the present era. The majority of these battles were fought by New World immigrants, and today they are still battling for the same freedoms, privileges, and cultural entitlements that were granted to Europeans and other white people. According to Koppelman (2020), White people have historically been the dominant group in the United States, and racism is a result of White racial prejudice and discrimination This week's reflection is another opportunity to learn about the continuing racial and cultural divides that African Americans encounter. Even though America has become the most culturally diverse nation in the world, it still finds it difficult to resolve conflicts when race and ethnicity are involved. The readings this week have given me a better understanding of the challenges our predecessors endured in order to achieve the same socioeconomic equality we enjoy today, and I must admit that reading about their struggles may be really depressing at times. "Not that I speak out of want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am," the bible says. According to Philippians 4:11–13 of the New American Standard Bible (2011), "I have learned the Page 2 of 7

The treatment of people of color in America with regard to legislation, education, and socioeconomic rights has been shaped by this advantage enjoyed by white Americans. Little has been done to eradicate the systemic forms of racism that are still pervasive since Brown v. The Board of Education amended the laws governing equal and fair treatment of people of color. inside of our civilization. There are still significant barriers to socioeconomic and educational equality for persons of color. American society has not addressed these issues adequately because of the absence of a successful integration plan for the diversity of our workforce, schools, and communities. secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I know how to get by with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity." Although racism hasn't been as overtly intentional and sympathetic as it was a few decades ago, the connotation is still very much there and is subtly prevalent in cultures like TV series and movies. People of color are stereotyped as being down on their luck, uneducated, and angry people who are often reaching out for help. According to Koppelman (2020), racism in the United States is a result of White racial prejudice and discrimination, which is either intentionally or unintentionally reinforced by institutional power and authority and used to the advantage of Whites and the detriment of people of color. These same values will remain in force as long as Americans cannot put an end to the marginalization of racial variety. Log: The Promise of Multicultural Education One of the most crucial instruments we need to create a better society is education. Our culture, our future, and our ideals are all shaped by it. The path to the life, profession, and job of our choosing is through education. It equips us with the information, know-how, and skills needed to realize our full potential and make a positive contribution to society. Multicultural education, according to Koppelman (2020), attempts to create a more welcoming environment for persons from different backgrounds and cultures. It is a kind of teaching that emphasizes the importance of a range of viewpoints, tongues, Multicultural education is clearly important. Practices, policies, and institutions must support inclusive learning and development, awareness of diverse cultures, and understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity as chances present themselves. It alludes to the notion that people from other cultures may coexist, cooperate, and learn alongside one another while also gaining from one another's traditions. It also refers to the notion that people from various ethnic and cultural origins can coexist, collaborate, and learn with one another while learning from one another's experiences; this concept Page 3 of 7

EDUC 848 and civilizations. It is a strategy intended to encourage respect and comprehension among people from different backgrounds and cultures. Additionally, multicultural education has the ability to foster a sense of community among students and foster an improvement in empathy and understanding (Chen & Wong, 2022). The readings demonstrate the promise of multicultural education, which teaches students about the rich cultures and traditions of other nations so they can appreciate the world around them and look for ways to make it better. This enriches learning by bringing knowledge and experiences from different cultures together in the classroom. Additionally, it encourages tolerance of other cultures, which makes our communities and schools better places for learning and development and keeps our schools appealing to students and faculty from many backgrounds. All pupils, including those who are white, benefit in terms of academic achievement and educational experience from this (Cordelli, 2018). Fine and Furtak (2020) contend that America has not lived up to its promise of providing all citizens with a fair and equal education. All pupils will get a fair and equal education in the United States, regardless of their origin or place of residence. America has become the most affluent and powerful country in the world because of this promise. But while the pledge serves a noble aim, it has also led to a number of issues. Three of these issues need to be addressed: educational inequality, the rising cost of education as a result of a lack of a suitable is also referred to as "cultural pluralism." 2020 Koppelman. Acts 17:26 says that "he created all the nations in all the earth from one man. He predetermined their borders and set when they should rise and fall (NIV, 2009). Preverbal limits include all current groups, cultures, and individuals from a wide range of origins. While some distinctions may seem insignificant, they have a significant impact on our culture and way of life. Education is one of the most significant ways that these inequalities influence our society. Building a society that is welcoming and tolerant of diverse cultures and people, especially those who are different from the dominant culture, depends heavily on education. Major changes have been occurring in American society over the past few years. The growth in the number of immigrants entering the United States from other nations is one of the biggest shifts. American society is becoming far more culturally diverse as a result. As a result of this growing cultural diversity, the federal government's operations, rewards distribution, and degree of equality attained have changed. According to Colossians 3:25, "But if you do what is wrong, you will get a judgment for the evil you have committed. God does not have a favorite (NIV, 2009). Making America Great Again has been a major focus of the federal government's efforts for the past ten years. a word used by people who Page 4 of 7

EDUC 848 framework, which calls for a more inclusive approach to learning and draws on the cultural backgrounds of students, and the adoption of contemporary methods and the integration of open- ended, multimodal approaches to documenting learning throughout the assessment process. Although the United States educational system is the envy of the world, many Americans feel that their education fell short of expectations. The challenges that multicultural education systems currently confront in schools should, in theory, promote equality of chances and reduce regimes of inequality, but research has demonstrated that present despite the appearance of equality, multicultural educational systems in fact reinforce the status quo in numerous ways and encourage subtler types of discrimination. consider themselves to be patriots and loyal to their cause (Flisfeder, 2018). America's leaders have made a concerted effort to restore our nation to its former splendor. One of the first areas they focused on when trying to solve the nation's issues was the economy. Since then, the economy has improved, and the US is currently experiencing economic expansion. However, there have been other challenges that the federal government has been worried about as well (King, 2017). Understanding how people from different backgrounds experience and comprehend the world is the goal of multicultural education, which also aims to prepare teachers to address the needs of their pupils in a way that is sensitive to their cultural background. To better serve their pupils, schools have placed an increased emphasis on multicultural education over the past few decades. The term has, however, frequently been used synonymously with the more general term diversity education, which is defined as the study of groups whose differences are studied, including racial and ethnic groups, sexual orientation, physical abilities, and more, while keeping in mind the teachings of the Lord in John 4:19–21. "We love one another because Christ first loved us. Someone is lying if they claim to love God but detest another believer. The NIV (2009) states that "those who love God must also love their fellow believers." Page 5 of 7
