ABSTRACT
IMAGINE, AS WAS ONCE THE CASE, that today’s social studies curriculum measured all else against a standard of being male, Protestant, and Anglo-Saxon.1 Women, African Americans, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, and Muslims, not to mention other religious, ethnic, and racial groups, would react with righteous outrage. With justification, we can claim that today’s social studies curriculum has become more inclusive of a range of groups and perspectives within and beyond the United States.
