"Eurocentrism is further characterized by the unwillingness to accept the authenticity of non-European systems, ideological orientations, culture and religions" (762).

"The purpose behind such changes to the curriculum lies in the need to educate people about the multicultural origins of modern civilization, about the contributions of Muslims, Indians and Chinese to modern Europe, about the positive aspects of all these civilizations, and about the common values and problems that humanity shares. A course on World Religions should be introduced into schools. Children should not be learning only about their own religions but about all religions" (767).
