The Old Order Amish in American Society

Abstract

The social studies curriculum must strongly emphasize that pupils understand and have desirable attitudes toward minority groups in American society. A democratic ideal is that each pupil achieve optimally in all facets of positive development. Thus, minority groups need also to have access to the good life in the United States, as well as in other nations on the face of the earth. Teachers, principals, and supervisors need to choose an ample number of units in the social studies which pertain to learners achieving needed understandings, skills, and attitudes relating directly toward relevant minority groups in American society.
