EDUCATION FOR DEMOCRACY Does Not Advance the Debate.
Fernekes, William R.
Social Education, v51 n6 p396-98,400 Oct 1987
Reviews the American Federation of Teachers' (AFT) report, EDUCATION FOR DEMOCRACY. States that while the AFT is to be commended for addressing the goal of citizenship education and furthering the ongoing debate, the report shows evidence of shoddy scholarship, dubious assumptions regarding curricular design, and nationalistic bias clothed in democratic rhetoric.
