"Written from an insightful radical perspective.[Teaching Values]
takes on issues that are usually addressed soley by conservatives;
it's time other voices entered these debates. The book brings a
necessary voice to these discussions; a voice that blends
theoretical knowledge with practical experience." -- bell hooks,
author of Teaching to Transgress
"Teaching Values calmly extricates multiculturalism from the hands
of Ravitch, Schlesinger, et al. and astutely places it in the
traditions of Western thought that it is supposed to be destroying,
and on the high ethical ground where it belongs. Deftly avoiding
both polemics and postmodern nihilism, Scapp defies current
caricatures of 'the left.' Allowing his years of experience as an
educator and his keen intelligence to guide the way, he helps us to
think carefully, wisely, humanely, and freshly about a range of
controversial issues." -- Susan Bordo, Otis A. Singletary Professor
of Humanities, University of Kentucky
