This textual analysis is a collective case study of K-12 United States History content standards in light of how they represent the historical experiences of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. The study uses a multi-perspective critical conceptual framework to evaluate the standards for nine state-level polities on both the quality of treatment and the orientation of how African Americans are depicted in the standards. Analysis revealed that the reviewed standards tend to discourage rigorous historical thinking in favor of non-conflictual narrative perspectives that accentuate the historical contributions of African Americans within a framework of linear social progress. This curricular approach is ultimately problematic because it encourages teachers and students to rely on convenient historical archetypes to construct a usable past, rather than problematizing the past and present experiences of African Americans.

There has been widespread interest in the effect the Medicare law has had on the level of physicians' charges. This subject and other aspects of the present Medicare method of physician reimbursement is currently under study by Congress and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. A group of Medicare patients recently seen and treated by the author were queried as to their experiences in paying for physicians' services under Medicare. A 64 percent response rate and the substance of the replies to a questionnaire suggests that this is a feasible mechanism for eliciting the attitudes and problems in a group of patients in the Medicare program.

The Governor's Survey on Efficiency and Cost Control, established by Governor Reagan's executive order, was a non-profit, bipartisan, privately financed management analysis of State administration conducted by private citizens, including physicians, during 1967 for the purpose of achieving improvement in administrative procedure and operating economies in State government.

Purpose
This paper aims to present a theoretical model for restructuring Colombia's educational initiatives in response to current socioeconomic needs. More equitable and decolonized education could help learners decouple their capacities to imagine the future from colonialized paradigms, thereby opening spaces for more active engagement in their own futures.


Design/methodology/approach
The authors take a critical, postmodern approach focused on empowering people to transcend constraints from a colonial past and recognizing that the purpose of knowledge, although reflecting power and social relationships, is to help people improve society. Notions of situated and futures literacies nourish an approach toward a decolonized and glocalized educational model.


Findings
The current Colombian educational system tends to favor a single focus – local, national or international – at the expense of the others. The authors argue that educational policy and planning should account for three realms of knowledge: locally situated literacies, nationally situated literacies and globally situated literacies.


Originality/value
Deconstructing obsolete and colonized methodologies could not only help prepare Colombian learners for active engagement both within and beyond their modern-day borders but could also help transform other educational systems originally designed to support societies and economies that no longer exist, including those of the Global North.
