Who should have the authority to shape the education of citizens
in a democracy? This is the central question posed by Amy Gutmann
in the first book-length study of the democratic theory of
education. The author tackles a wide range of issues, from the
democratic case against book banning to the role of teachers'
unions in education, as well as the vexed questions of public
support for private schools and affirmative action in college
admissions.
