Extractions: One issue that can cause difficulties in school-community collaborations is that it can be hard to involve parents when the curriculum continues to be racist and the school wants parents to help their children choose the school culture over their home culture. Another issue is getting parents to support what is best for all children rather than just their own child. This issue brings up the link between diversity and democracy. Dr. Rios discussed the work of Walter Parker on democracy and stated that multicultural democracy can foster diversity from which unity can arise, thus making diversity a democratic virtue. In response to a question about how to balance the home and school cultures, Dr. Rios said that it is important to help students see that academics and being successful academically is something that is happening in their communities too. Also, schools need to get out into the community and learn about its assets and what is happening in homes, and bring these things into the curriculum.
