The Politics of Nationalizing Curricular Content.
Kirst, Michael W.
American Journal of Education, v102 n4 p383-93 Aug 1994
Stresses key areas of political conflict in the certification of a national curricular content and explores trade-offs a national-standards approval group must make. The article analyzes left-wing support for explicit opportunity-to-learn standards and right-wing objections to educational outcomes and focuses on initial approval stages, not classroom implementation.
