Multicultural literature is not needed in school curriculum

Question: Should multicultural literature be included in the high school curriculum?
Position‹2 of 3›: No, multicultural literature should not be taught in schools
Argument1 of 3›: Multicultural literature is not needed in school curriculum

The traditional school curriculum has been satisfactory thus far.

The argument

In many language arts/literature classes, classics such as “Jane Eyre,” “The Odyssey,” and “Macbeth” are taught and discussed. A range of formats of literature are usually taught (poems, plays, short stories, etc) that provide students with a sufficient variety of literature and prose. If students are curious about different types of literature, they can explore it on their own or take unique courses at college. The standard school curriculum provides students the foreground of writing and literature so that they could then individually explore different avenues post-graduation if they wish.

Premises

[P1]High school literature classes already teach a sufficient variety of classic works across multiple formats such as poems, plays, and short stories. [P2] The standard curriculum's role is to provide foundational knowledge of writing and literature, not comprehensive coverage of every tradition. [P3] Students interested in other literary traditions can explore them independently or through specialized college courses after graduation. [C] Therefore, multicultural literature does not need to be included in the high school curriculum.

Counter-arguments

If students don’t know the different avenues of literature then they won’t know the options in the first place.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P2] It is the responsibility of the curriculum to give students an overview of the landscape of literature.
