May the next generation behold the fertile ground, prosperity, and
technological success. Afghanistan should modernize, perhaps even
pursue a space program. Men of Islam once charted the night skies,
and they, as all men, should travel to the stars and see the earth
as Allah Almighty sees it. May they see a world where men live
free.
You're a farmer's son living in England in the early 7th century.
Your people are descendants of invaders from Northern Europe: the
Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, who arrived about 200 years
earlier, seized land from the native Britons and made themselves at
home here. You will experience first-hand the culture and history
of the Anglo-Saxon peoples, including how they survived, ate and
dressed, the stories they told, and how they responded to the
coming of Christianity.

We examine Hart's peripatetic career as teacher, editor,
journalist, lecturer, and public philosopher. It is biographical as
well as an intellectual history of a fascinating character and
prolific author. Our goal is to resurrect Hart's intellectual life
in order to more deeply understand the significant isuues he not
only confronted, but endured These issues primarily include
academic freedom and humanizing education, with their direct links
to community organizing and Danish folk schools-themes that run
throughout the book. Instead of seeing Hart's intellectual life as
a cautionary tale against forceful criticism, we offer a view
consistent with Hart: we should embrace the "full and frank" sense
of academic freedom in order to demonstrate a truly democratic mode
of associated living in universities and civic communities.
Respecting different views should not mean mollifying critique. The
opposite, in fact, is in keeping with our view of the open exchange
of ideas characteristic of free societies and legitimate
institutions of higher education. Other theme of significance in
this book include the status of the social foundations in teacher
education, social welfare, pacifism, community organizing, the
broader purpose of schools and universities in the U.S., and Hart's
commitment to adult education via Danish folk schools and rural
community living. The politics of teacher education are legion, and
this was no less so when Hart began his career in the early
twentieth century. Debates were had about the degree to which
normal schools, as two?year teacher training sites, should broaden
their technical scope to include the liberal arts. This is the
distinction between teacher training and teacher education. Those
in favor of classroom management and efficient controls or methods
for dispensing curriculum faced criticism from those who thought
schools should be embryotic spaces for individual and democratic
growth. Hart was clearly on the side of individual and democratic
growth and this meant, in part, less order, less routine, and less
bureaucratic imposition of standards from bureaucratic hierarchies.
Positively, it meant engaging in debates that challenge students to
think differently than they have ever thought before. As we show in
the following pages, Hart was enormously successful at challenging
ideas...and many people would rather not be challenged. As we
noticed above, this position results in demonstrating a ""full and
frank"" enactment of academic freedom.
