Studying Controversial Issues
The Board supports the inclusion of controversial issues as part of students' education. The
presentation and discussion of controversial issues will be informative. The development of ability
to meet issues without prejudice and to withhold judgments while facts are being collected,
assembled and weighed and to see relationships before drawing inferences or conclusions are among
the most valuable outcomes of a free educational system.
Teachers will present an overall view of controversial issues and will guard against giving personal
opinions until students have had an opportunity to:
1.
Find, collect and assemble factual material on the subject.
2.
Interpret the data without prejudice.
3.
Reconsider assumptions and claims and to reach their own conclusions.
By refraining from expressing personal views before and during the period of research and study,
the teacher will encourage students to search after truth and to think for themselves.
Before beginning a class in the study of an obviously controversial topic, a teacher will discuss with
the building principal: (1) its appropriateness to the course; (2) its appropriateness for the students'
maturity level; (3) the approach to instruction; (4) the instructional materials to be used. The
Superintendent shall be kept informed of all controversial issues.
