Subject: How do we cover systems of political thinking?
I have been finding more and more how important it is for us to be really critical of how we teach the different systems of government in our high school classes. When we were covering The Crucible in my English class we discussed much about Communism, but one of Miller's big points is that communism isn't inherently evil. This can be important before discussing China. The tenth grade curriculum I feel tends to lend itself to teaching the students "communism is bad" (even with some very great teachers the students tend to hear how awful communism is.) How do you go about making sure that students can think critically about all systems?
