Abstract | In these divided states of America, schools should teach students how to participate in the democratic process, rather than avoid classroom conflicts. Education for citizenship in a democracy cannot happen in an artificially conflict-free environment. Citizenship's core challenge is learning to cope creatively with controversial issues (like creationism, textbook content, and school prayer) and to make informed choices. (MLH) |
