I'm gonna keep this one short. There is a line in the text that I want to comment on, "After World War 2, experts in civic education sought to "democratize" Japan." It's funny how history repeats itself. Aren't we in a war right now and trying to democratize a society? The text talks alot about the history of education in our nation. It talks about the immigrants and the majority of people, how they are Protestant, white, etc.. Whether they are immigrants or not should not affect the ideal of education. It will change the way education is given, but the overall concept should stay the same. There is also another line, "Today there is lively debate about creating a curriculum that mirrors our cultural variety and equally vivid concern about teaching patriotism and common values. Our country is based on certain principles and values. They are common throughout our existstance. When I think about this I think about the crap about the flag and flag salute in our schools. Are they kidding? This is something that goes back hundreds of years and now that someone had a problem with it, they even considered taking it away. The last time I checked there were choices. There are different kinds of schools for many people. If they don’t like what is done move on!
