This article examines multicultural citizenship education (MCE) as a form of teacher-driven resistance to oppressive macro-level policies and discourses. I present an analysis of how six English and History teachers at Castro Middle School describe their pedagogical changes following the election of Donald Trump. Findings reveal how teachers embedded MCE into the curriculum to resist the anti-immigrant national climate and support the cultural citizenship of Latinx, Asian, and immigrant-origin students. Teachers also strove to cultivate students’ critical awareness, political efficacy, and commitment to political action. I conclude that major political events, like elections, can be catalysts for resistance through MCE.

本文将多元文化公民教育 (MCE) 视为一种教师驱动的对压迫性宏观政策和话语的抵抗形式。我展示了Castro中学的六位英语和历史教师如何描述唐纳德特朗普选举后的教学变革。调查结果揭示了教师如何将 MCE 嵌入课程以抵制反移民的国家气候并支持拉丁裔、亚洲和移民血统的学生的文化公民身份。教师还努力培养学生的批判意识、政治效能和对政治行动的承诺。我的结论是，重大的政治事件，如选举，可以成为通过 MCE 进行抵抗的催化剂。
