Gurin, P (2003). The Benefits of Diversity in Education for Democratic Citizenship. Journal of Social Issues

This paper discusses that in the beginning it was considered that African American and White children should be desegregated, however, it was later recognized that integration in the studies of diverse groups was integration. The benefits of education in diversity depend on curricular and non-curricular activities which are faced in the institutions. Positive benefits of diversity teaching were many according to the studies that were conducted. There are legal concerns as well which have attracted educational value of racial and ethnic diversity which has gained controversies in the past (Linda, 2001). It is argued by some that educational role in diversity is varied in different campuses which have different racial backgrounds. This is seen as directly improving and benefiting in the education.
