    Description

    This literature review examines factors that influence how current events, especially contentious topics, are taught in high schools as well as methods that are used by teachers to team them. It was found that political situations and culture wars can influence curricula, and that teachers and administrators choose to comply or resist. This research suggests that various ideologies influence the methods each teacher uses in the classroom to teach controversial subject matter.
