Column: Common curriculum would boost national unity
Patricia Smith
While there is consensus that our country is deeply divided, there is confusion about the causes. E.D. Hirsch offers an explanation in his new book How to Educate a Citizen: The Power of Shared Knowledge to Unify a Nation. He points out that democratic republics such as ours are fragile, often collapsing because of citizens’ varying politics, religions and ethnic backgrounds.
Being aware of these natural antagonisms, our forefathers and early educators realized the importance of common schooling, especially early schooling. Thomas Jefferson wanted a school every 5 to 6 miles and George Washington left funds in his will for public education.
Also removed was the song, Dixie, known as an anthem of Confederacy, and the sexually suggestive song, Buffalo Gals.
The ministry rightly removed these songs in drafting, said Nicole Sparrow, acting press secretary for Education Minister Adriana LaGrange. The final curriculum will contain a wide collection of song options, taking into account the broad history and diversity of Canada, she said in an email.
List still problematic, researcher says
But Schuurman-Olson said many of the songs she considers problematic remain. It still prioritizes a western classical European view as the music worth teaching, she said.
Among the songs remaining are Billy Boy, which tells the story of a man who wants to marry a girl too young to leave her mother.
