"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...

What happens when progressives run government schools? They judge teachers based upon their own socio-political values.

The system will rate teachers as “distinguished” – the highest rating – when they (among other things):
Encourage students to “challenge and question the dominant culture.”...
If it is just one flag, one language and one loyalty that is not enough for what anyone should consider culture. Culture would include religion, foodways, social forms, etc. - Way too diverse or as you put it multicultural and dynamic.
