Curriculum Controversy
The book, Whale Talk, used in curriculum in a high school English class was recently called in to question for using racial slurs. After a review by board appointed community members, it was recommended the book stay part of the curriculum at MVHS. The school board agreed and the book remained part of curriculum at the high school.

Famous quotes containing the words curriculum and/or controversy:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
