Nonjudgmentalism in schools
When we analyze questions like, “What would make a good high school curriculum?” we must first understand the underlying issues of the question. The easiest way to do this is to find out what makes a high school curriculum bad. I have found that an increasing number of students across America can not bring themselves to condemn egregious actions under the guise of multicultural differences. I believe this to be the biggest problem that faces our young students at the high school level. Furthermore, I believe that multiculturalism has played a role in spreading the vapors of nonjudgmentalism. I quote three teachers whose stories were printed in the Chronicle of Higher Education as my supports.One support comes from Professor Robert Simon whose students don’t deny the fact that the German Holocaust occurred. Rather, they cannot bring themselves to pass moral judgement against the Nazis. A student of his was quoted saying, “Of course I dislike the Nazis, but who is to say they are morally wrong?” Professor Simon continues saying students hold tightly to their “group perspectives on ethnicity, race, and gender that moral judgment is impossible.”
