As a result of years of urging from ethnic groups, textbooks and curricula now offer an inclusive account of American progress in freedom and justice. However, moral and religious education remain on much thornier ground. Zimmerman tells the dramatic story of compromise and conflict over the teaching of history and morality in 20th-century America.
