Yes hate is a controversial construct that is rarely researched studied and discussed in education. The reason is that teachers and related professionals are supposedly very liberal people who cannot hate their culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students parents and colleagues. And the lingering question is can a teacher who is always liberal be also hateful? This question seems legitimate; and to answer it we must look deeper into traditional presumptions. The reality is that White educators and professionals who dominate the educational profession are human-beings who live in their respective White dominated communities. As a result they teach or lead people who they do not know very well. If not why should CLD individuals continue to experience hateful misidentifications misassessments miscategorizations misplacements and misinstructions in school programs? And why should disproportionate placements of CLD learners with special education needs gifts and talents and emotional/behavioral problems continue to be burning issues in education? This book provides outside-the-box solutions!</p><p> </p>
