Foundations of Culture Wars in Education opens up dialogue and debates over crucial political concerns. It touches on vital educational issues including race, class, gender, philosophical, historical, multicultural and spiritual concerns.
Foundations of Culture Wars in Education builds its arguments on three essential themes:
- Pre-service teachers need to recognize the meaning of different viewpoints or “paradigms” of knowledge in order to make informed teaching decisions.
- Pre-service teachers need to make an authoritative decision to “educate” students rather than “school” them.
- To be engaged in the “culture wars” and to “educate” necessitates becoming a “transformative intellectual”.
