"The Controversy About Civic Education in Spain"
Abstract
La introducción de la educación para la ciudadanía en el sistema escolar español ha dado lugar a una fuerte polémica con sectores conservadores de la sociedad española, que afirman que la educación moral de los estudiantes es una competencia exclusiva reservada a las familias. Contestando a estas críticas, este artículo señala las razones que justifican el contenido sustantivo de la materia y la competencia del gobierno democrático en lo que respecta a la educación cívica.
