Abstract
Multicultural education is a necessary ingredient for promoting cultural diversity in the U.S. educational system. School health curricula should incorporate instruction about health problems among ethnic minorities. If we are to educate youth for what we want the future of society to be, educators must encourage and promote diversity. In school health curricula, diversity is critical to adequately promote health for all.Keywords
