South Florida high school educators are alarmed that a new state civics initiative designed to prepare students to be virtuous citizens is infused with a Christian and conservative ideology after a three-day training session in Broward County last week.
Teachers who spoke to the Times/Herald said they dont object to the states new standards for civics, but they do take issue with how the state wants them to be taught.
It was very skewed, said Barbara Segal, a 12th-grade government teacher at Fort Lauderdale High School. There was a very strong Christian fundamentalist way toward analyzing different quotes and different documents. That was concerning.
