Following a rant by the The Detroit News about the “bias” of the new social studies curriculum in Michigan, the state superintendent of education pulled the plug on it, citing ommissions of 9/11 and Watergate.
The Detroit News reports that Superintendent Michael P. Flanagan said there was a “biased flavor” in some of the curriculum examples proposed in the document, adding that he could see how it might look like an “indoctrination piece.”
Revised documents will likely not be submitted to the state board in time for fall, said Martin Ackley, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Education.
Perhaps the revised document will follow SC’s lead and allow for off-campus Bible education.
