"Social justice, a term rooted in the civil rights movements of the past 40 years, is based on the belief that educational institutions must be change agents that will train children to work to end the “injustices” of oppression, bigotry, cultural imperialism, exploitation, etc. Historical “facts” and perspectives may there- fore be distorted to deliver a predetermined message that will move students toward desired actions.5
