In class the other day we spent quite a long time talking about the validity of the salad bowl concept. I think to some extent it is a good ideology to teach to younger students. I feel that if it is presented in a certain manner it can definitely be used as a good teaching method. I think it is important for the students to think of it as anyone can be any part of the salad. You don't have to categorize a certain group as one of the items in the bowl. If you explain to the students that each item is apart of the salad and with out it you can't have a complete one this could be a positive way in looking at this concept.
I can see where there are aspects of the ideology that would make i have a negative out look on different groups of people. I feel that if you were to introduce this idea to a class, you could let them come to their own conclusions. See where the students take this idea, and then have them discuss it. For all we know they could make a good reasoning for using this concept with out making it seem negative.
