Download or read book Moral Education in America's Schools written by Thomas C. Hunt and published by Information Age Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2005 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not a comprehensive history of moral education in American schools. Rather, it is an episodic history that deals with selected periods, movements, and individuals throughout the course of American education history from the time of colonial Massachusetts in the 17th century up to present times. It is almost entirely devoted to public schools. It is a tale that is fraught with friction and controversy, even legal challenge. Given the nature of the topic, and the passion with which it has been and is currently viewed, it will ever be thus.
