Multicultural Pavilion is created by Paul c. Gorski and EdChange. Paul C. Gorski is an assistant professor at George Mason University and founder of EdChange. The website is a great resource for anyone wanting to know more about diversity They are committed to creating more equitable schools and communities. Educators can find great information on curriculum, lesson plans, printable handouts, songs, essays, and more. Overall, the website has great information on multiculturalism, race, gender, disabilities, and more. However, when looking more into some of the sections such as songs and speeches I noticed that is is geared toward mostly African Americans. I did find a lot about Native Americans in the song section. Much of the information was geared toward the overall theme of Multiculturalism and was trying to sell t-shirts, bumper stickers and more. The also have links to workshops and seminars. It seems like the website is geared toward making money by having people puchase various items. The website supports anyone of diversity. The website focuses on some negative aspects of some white people. They are selling t-shirts that say "cracker" and "No (rich, white, English, upwalking) Child Left Behind. I think the website undermines Caucasians and could have talked about more cultures. I did not see much for Asians and Latinos. Mostly, I found information for African Americans.
Great summary - very thorough. 10/10
