Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Multiculturalism-based pedagogy is harmful to racialized and Indigenous students due to its lack of acknowledgment of power structures and systemic racism. Multiculturalist rhetoric continues in Ontario schools today, although the term multiculturalism has largely been replaced by terms such as equity, inclusivity, and diversity. This chapter will offer some critiques of multiculturalism along with an analysis of the Grade 10 Canadian History curricula from 1973 onwards to analyze the various changes it makes and to understand whether these changes contribute to dismantling racism or whether they continue to perpetuate systemic inequities. Although significant changes have been made to the curriculum, multiculturalist rhetoric that works to erase ongoing colonial and racial violence continues in the curriculum today.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
