One common argument among conservative leaning parents is that public schools should simply teach the basics: English, history, math, and science. However, leaving “life” outside of the classroom is an impossibility. A highly effective teacher will meet their students where they are to establish a safe environment where learning is possible. Teaching a simplified, white-washed curriculum will ensure those sitting in the school desks will either not reach their potential or become more prejudiced and continue perpetuating intolerance.
