The Florida Education Association is taking issue with the Florida Department of Education’s plans to consider changes to curriculum requirements, saying the changes appear to have a "political, rather than educational, motive."
The Florida Department of Education is voting Thursday over a rule that is aimed at keeping history lessons objective. The rule is aimed at keeping teachers from "indoctrinating" students . Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran says he wants to keep teachers from indoctrinating students by requiring teachers to keep instructions factual and objective, as well as age appropriate. Corcoran has said publicly that teachers need to be policed to.
