Multicultural Education
Multicultural education is the identification, selection and infusion of specific knowledge, skills and attitudes for the purpose of: - Affirming the culture, history and contributions that shall include but not be limited to African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans; and
- Challenging and eliminating racism, prejudice, bigotry, discrimination and stereotyping based on race; and
- Valuing multiple cultural perspectives; and
- Providing all students with opportunities to “see themselves” in the educational environment in positive ways and on a continuing basis.
Good SportsmanshipLincoln Public Schools recognizes the value of extracurricular activities in the education process and the values that students may develop when they have an opportunity to participate in organized activities outside the traditional classroom. Good sportsmanship is the attitude and behavior that exemplifies positive support for the extracurricular activities and programs of our District, as well as for the individuals who coach, supervise, advise, officiate, participate and attend such programs.
Any student, coach, advisor, volunteer or spectator, who, in connection with an extracurricular activity, 1) uses hateful language (including, without limitation, derogatory, vulgar or obscene language) in reference to a person’s sex, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, gender or sexual orientation or, 2) engages (or attempts to engage) in any negative or harmful act against or directed toward a person based on such person’s sex, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, gender or sexual orientation, may be subject to immediate suspension or removal from the activity, and may, at the discretion of LPS administration, be required to complete an education program or other action prior to return.
