sequential development K-12, authors, fairness and objectivity,

appearance, timeliness, peripheral support, physical condition,

Department Leader, Mike Merrill, has shared that he is aware of

the controversy and has read an article relating to it. He sees this

situation as a great teachable moment for his students. An

integral part of the study of history is the analysis of evidence

within sources. (NYS Social Studies Practices: 3. Analyze evidence

in terms of content, authorship, point of view, bias, purpose,

format, and audience.) He felt this would be a great opportunity

to ask his students to reflect about the term used in this case and

discuss the power of word choice in shaping opinion.
