- C.

This means that the emphasis is on assimilating these children into the dominant American culture, rather than allowing parents to choose between assimilation and pluralism for their own children or solely focusing on academics. This ideology promotes the idea of a unified American identity and discourages the preservation of cultural diversity within the education system.Rate this question:

Two approaches to difference in public education, based on two different ideologies, were
- A.
Right and wrong
- B.
Conservative and liberal
- C.
Assimilationist and pluralist.
Correct Answer
C. Assimilationist and pluralist.Explanation
The correct answer is "assimilationist and pluralist." This is because the question is discussing two different approaches to difference in public education based on different ideologies. The terms "assimilationist" and "pluralist" represent two contrasting ideologies. Assimilationist ideology promotes the idea of assimilating diverse individuals into a single dominant culture, while pluralist ideology supports the recognition and acceptance of diverse cultures and identities within society. Therefore, the terms "assimilationist and pluralist" accurately represent the two different approaches being discussed.Rate this question:

The shift in demographics in our country can be attributed to ...
- A.
. the high immigration rates from non-European countries
- B.

- C.
All of these
Correct Answer
C. All of theseExplanation

Immigration from non-European countries has contributed to the diversification of the population, bringing in people from different cultural backgrounds. Additionally, the high birthrates among nonwhite populations indicate a growing population of individuals with non-European heritage. Therefore, both factors play a role in the shift in demographics.Rate this question:
