N2  - "Civil Discourse answers a real and pressing problem in American schools: how to discuss issues of history, civics, and current events in a way that is based in objective fact, intellectual reasoning, and civil conversation. The authors have found that teachers and administrators are scared of having "political" conversations and don't know how to address subjects like climate change, slavery, and police brutality without potentially upsetting parents, administrators, and students. The authors want to help teachers become strong facilitators - not endorsers - of contentious conversations and topics. They believe that schools need to create a culture of talking openly about difficult subjects from the first day of school, and they want to accomplish this by building community in the classroom, in the school, and in the larger community outside of school."--
