Peace Education: A Controversial Issue?
McConaghy, Tom
Phi Delta Kappan, v68 n4 p248-49 Nov 1986
Many educators have been reluctant to deal with the nuclear threat and peace education in their classrooms, viewing such topics as controversial, unprofessional, or harmful. After summarizing recent peace education events in Canadian schools, this article advocates teaching about nuclear issues in the context of justice, violence, survival, and the future of civilization.
