Very often in my career, I was accused of being
non-objective. Teachers, especially of the social sciences, are supposed to be
objective, they said.
To them, I offer this article about the objectivity of
journalists. Substitute the word
teacher for journalist, and there you have it. Come to think of it, the social studies teacher is very much
like a journalist, or should be.
Social studies teachers who parrot the curriculum, as they almost all do,
aren't worth a damn; they're following orders.
