Need help please. about social studies.

Respect and knowledge of different cultures is an important life skill. Carson Junior High has many Mexican and Guatemalan students who deserve equality and respect for their culture. In this situation we can see Ms. Mulaney was trying to create a welcoming and accepting environment but she was unsuccessful in doing this in a appropriate, educational way. By essentially forcing the Latino students to wear a mariachi hat she was embarrassing them and enforcing stereotypes. There are many other more appropriate activity's that Ms. Mulaney could have implemented. She could make a Hispanic Culture Club that is voluntary for students to come and learn about Latin American countries, food, and culture. Maybe she could show a video about Latin America and invite students to have a class disucsuuions. Overall it is important to acknowledge the Hispanic community but do so in a way that does not call people out and enforce stereotypes.
