Appeasing the Right, Missing the Point? Reading the New York State Social Studies Framework.
Grant, S. G.
Social Education, v61 n2 p102-06 Feb 1997
Uses the example of New York State to illustrate how the rancorous political debate over education can render national standards irrelevant and contradictory. In appeasing so many factions the standards become inclusive to the point of obfuscation. Provides a brief overview of the controversy concerning national standards. (MJP)
