A Global Scope

I think that Sarah Palin illustrates a perfect example of a massive failing in the U.S. education policy: a narrow scope in geography and the political sciences. The United States’ unilateralism in foreign policy has seeped into our children’s lives and imaginations. It has profoundly affected young people’s understanding of how broad and diverse the world is.

Integrating a broader and more global curriculum into our increasingly globalized livelihoods is imperative to turning out young people and leaders who are equipped to operate, nay thrive!, in this interdependent world (and global economy)!
