Curriculum Resources for the Life Span
When screenwriter Joss Whedon received the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement in Cultural Humanism award from the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, he stated that the “only one answer (to codifying our moral structure in non-theistic terms) … is education, education, education.... (The) enemy of humanism is not faith... it's ignorance.”
Recognizing the importance of education, the AHA established the Kochhar Humanist Education Center named for its benefactor, Pritpal Singh Kochhar. Our intent is to make humanist education accessible to all. In a letter to the membership, Roy Speckhardt asked "Who will teach our children about humanism?" The answer: committed parents and teachers in our chapters. Two important questions that apply to all age groups -- What shall we teach? "How shall we teach? -- are addressed in the Center’s website, “Curriculum Resources for the Life Span”.
