Affective education's goals can be sabotaged by unrecognized ethnicism in the teacher, the school, or the materials used. Teacher/facilitators of affective strategies should develop a sensitivity to all types of ethnicism, become aware of the cognitive and affective realities of other ethnic groups, and work toward programs which are free of ethnic discrimination, whether overt or covert. After looking at these issues this paper then considers the implications and concerns of ethnic awareness which are specific to drug education.
