Chávez-Moreno, Laura C. – Journal of Teacher Education, 2021
U.S. teacher education has largely overlooked a sociopolitical-historical context that affects both immigrants and nonimmigrants: American empire.

Butcher, Jonathan – Heritage Foundation, 2021
Schools are a reflection of culture and national character and should transmit these ideas through the teaching of history and government. Generally considered "civic" instruction, this subject is sorely neglected--an opinion shared by both sides of the partisan divide.
