Hirsch Responds: The Best Answer to a Caricature Is a Practical Program.

Hirsch, E. D., Jr.

Educational Leadership, v46 n1 p18-19 Sep 1988

This article is E.D. Hirsh's response to a foregoing critique of his book "Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know." He argues that the distorted image depicted by Estes, Gutman, and Harrison obscures the promise of the cultural literacy initiative to improve learning in our schools. (TE)
