From his 25 years of experience as a multicultural educator, he looks deeply into the mirror of his own racial identity to discover what it means to be a culturally competent white teacher in racially diverse schools. Inspired by his extensive travel and collaboration with students and colleagues from many different cultures, We Can’t Teach What We Don’t Know offers a healing vision for the future of education in pluralistic nations. In 1989, 30 percent of youth suicides were committed by homosexual teens, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Jeff Perrotti and Kim Westheimer, the founding and current directors (respectively) of the Massachusetts Department of Education Safe Schools Program, tell of their experiences with supporters, opponents, legislators, faculty, administrators, and students. Numerous accounts and testimonies, not all of them happy, enliven this guide for introducing gay rights protection into schools.
