In saying that Bailey tries to account for controversial issues in behavioural terms, I am making use of Dearden's observation that Bailey has ‘adopted a behavioural criterion of the controversial’ (Dearoen, R. F. Controversial issues and the curriculum. Journal of Curriculum Studies Vol. 13, No. 1, (1981)

- The Humanities Project team have written: ‘By a controversial issue we mean one which divides students, parents and teachers because it involves an element of value‐judgement which prevents the issues being settled by evidence and experiment’. The Humanities Project: An Introduction, p. 6. However, as Bailey has noted, given his definition, ‘controversies can occur in any area of knowledge or experience. There can be controversy about scientific matters, aesthetic matters, historical matters, controversies about religion and cosmology as well as about morals, society and polities’. Bailey, C. p. 122
