Distilling Democracy : Alcohol Education in America's Public Schools, 1, Hardcover by Zimmerman, Jonathan, ISBN 0700609458, ISBN-13 9780700609451, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US Zimmerman (educational history, New York U.) examines the history of Scientific Temperance Instruction, a curriculum on the evils of alcohol which was originally developed and advocated by a grassroots movement, and ultimately was mandated in all American schools for a time. He traces today's debate on drug and alcohol education to issues raised in this seminal episode. The debate over STI, claims Zimmerman, was really about the balance between expertise and populist desire in determining what should be taught to America's children. Annotation c.
