In a conservative educational climate that is dominated by policies like No Child Left Behind, one of the serious effects has been for educators to worry about the politics of what they are teaching and how they are teaching it. This book provides readers an argument for why curricula and teaching based on controversial issues are truly crucial. Through rich empirical research from real classrooms throughout the nation, Controversy in the Classroom demonstrates why schools have the potential to be particularly powerful sites for democratic education.
