Cultural Politics in the Classroom.
Mackwood, Gae
Canadian Social Studies, v26 n4 p144-45 Sum 1992
Discusses political correctness and cultural politics in the schools. Questions whether concern over education's traditionally Eurocentric view justifies rejecting the curriculum. Observes that the issue of how teachers teach also has cultural implications. Suggests that the political correctness debate shows how long the road to cross-cultural understanding really is. (DK)
