The New Assimilation Movement: Standards, Tests, and Anglo-American Supremacy.
Overview & Synopsis
An analysis of the 1998 California educational standards confronts the assimilationist ideology embedded in the push for standards and accountability in American education. The standards explicitly define "America" and"Americans" as White and Anglo, ignore Indigenous history and contributions of non-European cultures and women, distort economics and civics education by emphasizing capitalist ideology, and ignore non-Western science.
