I agree, much like teaching the
difference between Creationism vs Evolution. However, as states in the article, they went past teaching the difference and applied value judgments:
These assumptions "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society -- a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive."
key words: "we teachers believe".
The first thing a teacher should know is that it doesn't matter what they believe. They're not instructed to teach what they believe...at least not in public primary school.
