This review is from: Introduction to the Foundations of American Education (12th Edition) (Hardcover)
Like I said in a precious review, I like National University, but they could have chosen a different book. I am Caucasian, white, Christian, heterosexual, male, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and let me tell you, this book will make it seem that the whit people in this country are racist bigots. And that we are trying to indoctrinate every single child that comes to America while keeping all the other people in lower classes. That is how I felt. I was shocked by how biased this book is. I am beginning to think that the publishers Allyn and Bacon have an agenda. One of the only topics I liked about this book is the short parts at the end of each chapter that tells the reader different ideas for making a professional portfolio. But, I can imagine that there are other books better.

The tenth edition is not very well organized. Overall, a very boring book.
