uWe
believe that today’s version of
umulticulturalism
is needlessly limiting the academic
uachievement
of the very children for whom most of
uthese
changes were initiated.
u
uEducation’s
aim should be to teach children to read
ufrom
the best literature available and not from the
umost
ethnically diverse sections we find.
u
uUltimately,
reading teaches us how to think- regardless
uof
whether we are rich or poor, black or white. I know
uthat
it is possible to expose children to good quality, diverse
uLiterature,
and I will make it my priority
