Throughout the course of my education career, I have engaged in numerous discussions on how and if schools should discuss and teach controversial topics with students.
Those arguing against taking on difficult and political issues in schools usually see the purpose of public education narrowly. One of these views is that schools exist to teach students essential academic knowledge and skills; educators should focus on teaching the basics in reading, writing and math. A similar view sees public education as a workforce and economic development tool and that schools should focus on preparing students for gainful employment.
