SUMMARY - When Politics Enters the Classroom

A teacher wears a political button to class. A student raises a controversial political topic during discussion. A parent complains that curriculum is politically biased. These scenarios—politics entering the classroom—generate ongoing controversy about education's relationship to political life. Should classrooms be protected from politics, neutral zones where political views don't intrude? Or is education inherently political, and attempts at neutrality either impossible or themselves political positions?
