It is also the policy of the district that the curriculum materials utilized reflect the cultural and racial diversity  present in the United States and the variety of careers, roles and life-styles open to women as well as men in our society.  One of the objectives of the total curriculum and teaching strategies is to reduce stereotyping and to eliminate bias on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, religion and disability.  The curriculum should foster respect and appreciation for the cultural diversity found in our country and as awareness of the rights, duties and responsibilities of each individual as a member of a pluralistic society.
