Teaching political arguments without prescribing a conclusion

Presenting arguments for and against a political platform allows students to examine it without being required to adopt the teacher's position.

Notes

Information should not be packaged solely to support the teacher's political beliefs. The teaching method explains both the case for a policy and the objections to it. Students therefore receive analytical tools for testing party platforms rather than a prescribed conclusion. Separating explanation from advocacy lets people with different politics engage with the same evidence.
