Citizenship Education and Diversity

The goals of citizenship education can conflict with values of cultural pluralism. The Canadian government's policy is one of official neutrality and tolerance with respect to cultural differences. The true function of this policy is to ensure that all Canadians can integrate into a shared set of political and civic institutions despite differences over questions of values. (TD)
