text: I had to use this as the course text for one of the classes in my master's of education program. I am accustomed to topics in education being generally liberal but this book was ridiculous. The authors were very clearly pushing a political agenda. I call this book nothing short of liberal brainwashing and propaganda. The only reason I purchased and used it was because it was required for the course assignments. Wish I could have saved my money (for both the book and the class).
