| "Social Justice or Educational Injustice" |
"Teachers should teach their subjects. They should not teach peace or war or freedom or obedience or diversity or uniformity or nationalism or antinationalism or any other agenda that might properly be taught by a political leader or a talk-show host" (Stanley Fish http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2003/01/2003012301c.htm). I sincerely hope that the notoriety of former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers that has been resurrected as a result of his affiliation with Barack Obama will result in a more critical look at the content of his "social justice" theories that undermine the legitimacy of public education.
Up until this past August, I worked at Deerfield High School (DHS) which is located in a suburb north of Chicago. For too many years the public has been unwittingly subsidizing the efforts of a small group of academic activists who arrogantly believe that their job description includes transforming the culture.
