From Rethinking Schools Online
As U.S. involvement with Iraq continues to unfold, Rethinking Schools Online presents a special collection of articles and resources for teachers. Teaching About the War includes materials that focus specifically on Iraq and the unfolding situation between Iraq and the United States, as well as articles that address the more general issues of armed conflict and society's priorities.
Rethinking Schools is a nationally prominent publisher of educational materials, with subscribers in all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces and many other countries. It remains firmly committed to equity and to the vision that public education is central to the creation of a humane, caring, multiracial democracy.
