Redefining the Social Studies, Absolutely.
Fleury, Stephen C.
Social Science Record, v26 n2 p7-10 Fall 1989
Critically assesses current reformist views on teaching social studies. Warns that these educators and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) position is anti-intellectual, contradicting the ideals of education and democracy. Encourages healthy debate about social studies and supports the virtues of humanism, skepticism, and pluralism. (NL)
