"Reflection upon the sources of our ethical views is imperative in
our present moment. At a time marked by polarization and
incommensurate moral disagreement, citizens must practice a rather
heroic form of civility and sober examination of opposing views.
Reasoning with Democratic Values 2.0 provides both the raw material
and appropriate structure for students to develop these habits, and
it will undoubtedly earn a place in many American history
classrooms." --The Journal of Social Studies Research (for second
edition)
"These volumes are engaging, clearly and imaginatively written, and
frequently invite sophisticated thinking about difficult ethical
issues within U.S. History. Through the well-selected stories,
students will indeed recognize that history is replete with ethical
issues that intricately intertwine with democratic values. Students
will also find a refreshing departure in these books from the staid
historical writing that sometimes plagues other history texts.
Through well-designed readings and learning activities, these new
editions accomplish what the authors' intended--to promote social
responsibility through informed and ethical use of democratic
values."--Theory & Research in Social Education
"Among the best supplementary materials for U.S. history known to
this reviewer. The cases are provocative; they stimulate student
interest, they promote a depth of historical understanding often
absent from history instructional materials, and they promote
important student skills. The curriculum is a fine blend of
historical content and thoughtful pedagogy, systematically
structured to promote social responsibility among students--one of
the enduring instructional goals of social studies
education."--Social Education (for first edition)
