Industry Reviews
This primer challenges organizations and groups that are pushing for change in U.S. public schools. The focus is on conservative Christian groups that are most vocally, forcefully, and politically involved in these cases. The authors, an educational consultant (Gaddy), a Methodist minister (T. William Hall), and a former monk (Robert J. Marzano), identify leaders on both sides of the conflict and carefully map their respective goals. New educational methods reflecting recent research on the psychology of learning have at times brought reactions from fundamentalist groups bordering on paranoia, with accusations of Satanism and occult practices being used in the schools. The authors attempt to deal impartially with these extreme views. In clear and straightforward language, they succeed in simplifying complex and delicate issues on religion and explaining how different systems operate in the human psyche. They also provide rational solutions for teachers and community leaders. Overall, this work is well balanced and informative. Recommended for libraries serving students, educators, and general readers alike. Arla M. Lindgren, St. John's University, Jamaica, N.Y.
