    Multicultural education has some potential downsides: it may diminish a student's sense of personal identity if their own culture is not represented; exposing students to vastly different cultural values from their own could cause confusion or have negative effects; and teaching certain topics could create conflicts if a student's family has differing beliefs. However, multicultural education is still important if done carefully to help build a global society that respects cultural differences.

    What Are the Cons of Multicultural Education?

    1. It loses a little of an individual’s personal identity.


    Who we are is just as special as who others are. Many multicultural education programs
    focus only on other cultures without providing an education within the culture of the
    student. It is important to know oneself just as it is important to know about what makes
    other people tick.

    2. Some cultures have very different values that can influence students.
    Not every culture supports racial equality. Some cultures focus on the family group only.
    Others are self-ruling entities that remove the idea of a ruling government. Some support
    pacifism and others support war. These different values can sometimes be confusing or
    have a detrimental effect on a student’s education.

    3. It can create family conflict.


    What happens if a student comes home speaking of evolution to parents who are New
    Earth Creationists? Or what if a student comes back to their Muslim family saying that
    they’ve become a Christian? Family conflict, whether justified or not, often happens with
    a multicultural education.

    The pros and cons of multicultural education show that it is important to have, but the
    outcomes must be carefully managed. We can build a global society that works together
    as long as we accept each others’ differences. The first step in that process could be this
    type of education.
