Does anyone know a quality elementary multicultural social studies curriculum? I am looking for a curriculum that is truly diverse and emphasizes people of color as well as various struggles/movements throughout the world. Please feel free to e-mail me your suggestions directly.
Thanks.

> Connecticut Governor's Proposed Cuts to Asian Pacific American Affairs
> Commission Raises Concerns over Commitment to APA Community
>
> Washington, D.C. - On Wednesday, Feb. 4, Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell
> (R) released her plan to mitigate a projected $300 million budget shortfall
> for the state. Governor Rell's proposed budget cuts included eliminating
> $25,000 that was earmarked for the new Connecticut Asian Pacific American
> Affairs Commission. The Commission, which was appointed last June by Rell,
> is tasked with determining how issues such as access to health care,
> housing, job training or English language instruction affect the state's
> Asian Pacific American (APA) population.
>
> "The Connecticut Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission is designed to
> determine how Connecticut can best work with and provide government services
> to the APA community in Connecticut," said Karen K. Narasaki, president and
> executive director of the Asian American Justice Center. "Cutting this
> necessary funding means the state won't be equipped to address the unique
> needs of the extremely diverse and rapidly growing APA community in
> Connecticut."
>
> According to the U. S. Census Bureau, Connecticut has the eighth fastest
> growing APA population in the United States. From 2000 to 2005,
> Connecticut's APA population grew by nearly 30 percent.
>
> Narasaki added, "We ask that the Connecticut General Assembly reconsider
> Governor Rell's proposed cuts to the Asian Pacific American Affairs
> Commission. We hope the members of the General Assembly will recognize the
> Commission's extremely modest expenses as an investment in the growing APA
> community of Connecticut."
