There are a few ways you can integrate culturally relevant issues in the classroom. Diverse literacy is a great way of doing this. I suggest seeking historical cultural texts-- what was it like for people in this situation in history? Does this make you think of anything in recent events? What would you do in this situation? I also suggest integrating culturally relevant texts by authors from different countries with different cultures, this is especially significant for English Language Learners. Great multicultural texts include "Esperanza Rising" are culturally relevant but are great reads for all students.

I would suggest incorporating cultural diversity in the classroom through lessons and activities. Maybe read a book about a child that takes place in Africa or go over each holiday as they come and describe why that culture celebrates that holiday. I believe that if you keeps things at a logical standpoint (and not be political), you should be fine and the students will enjoy learning about other cultures!

Discussing with the class that everyone has their own beliefs and is entitled to their own opinion is very important. Students also need to understand that we all need to respect each other as people and put aside our differences. Lecturing and assigning readings on the beliefs of different cultures can be helpful.

Just make sure that the teacher is appropriate and ethical when talking about the situation! You do not want to overstep the boundaries and get in trouble it's not worth it.

Make sure to address these issues in an unbiased manner. Students should not be allowed to discuss their personal beliefs on the matter in the classroom, as it may lead to unwanted debate.

I would just make sure that it is appropriate, maybe having a specific lesson regarding different cultures. If they are old enough ask them what they would do dealing with specific cultural issues.

multicultural education is a great way. Try literature

I would select text and materials that are appropriate for the student's age. Maybe have a meeting with the principal or other administration to try to come up with a collaborative effort. Make sure to take ethics into consideration, and see if there are some topics that you guys can agree would be appropriate, and those that are off limits.

Multicultural literature could help with this problem. Also discuss expectations before hand and how we should be respectful of everyones views.
