Controversy as PedagogyJohn Wesley White

��

School leaders both overtly and tacitly discourage teachers from engaging in controversial topics. Similarly, curricula (especially corporately-produced mass curricula) tends to avoid issues that mainstream American might find troubling or too controversial. My thesis--as discussed in these slides--is that teachers should engage students in controversial topics. Controversial topics are at the heart of good literature and history. They are also ever-present in the minds of adolescent students. Classrooms should be places where students can engage in open and academic explorations of "truth" --to include issues that many find controversial or uncomfortable. Not doing so is tantamount to hegemony.
