Multicultural Curriculum

I was reading through a lesson in Lansing's Science Curriculum for my TE 401 class today and it had excerpts from the student workbook. The lesson on electricity had an illustration of students making a circuit. One of the children in the picture was in a wheel chair. This gives me hope that although slowly, people are becoming increasingly aware of the need for representation of multiculturalism not only in literature but in our curriculum, our media, and our daily lives.
