The nation is enriched by the ethnic, cultural, and language diversity among its citizens and within its schools. However, whenever diverse groups interact, intergroup tension, stereotypes, and institutionalized discrimination develop. Schools must find ways to respect the diversity of their students as well as help to create a unified nation-state to which all of the nation s citizens have allegiance. We hope these design principles will help educational policy makers and practitioners realize this elusive and difficult but essential goal of a democratic and pluralistic society.
