Abstract
Iowa law addresses the important need for all students to feel that they are reflected in the school's curriculum. It provides an opportunity for students to see the contributions and perspectives of the disabled, other races and cultural groups, and the opposite gender reflected in the school curriculum. Schools that embrace multicultural nonsexist (MSNS) concepts across the curriculum help develop healthy attitudes and relations among their students. This concept, based on pluralism, encourages and promotes cultural diversity viewed as a source of richness and strength. As such, students learn to appreciate, respect, and celebrate differences rather than attribute or equate cultural diversity with division and sources of conflict.
