Are American schools socially just institutions? Using the methods
of political philosopher John Rawls, this book answers this
question by arguing for four principles that express the basic
purposes that Americans hold for their schools--principles of
Personal Liberty, Democracy, Equal Opportunity, and Economic
Growth. These principles are then used to analyze current
controversies in American education policy and practice about
curriculum content, instructional methods, education standards,
civic education, control of schools, and school finance. It
concludes that in each arena prevailing practice falls to attain
Americans' political ideals for their schools and suggests
strategies for remedying that failure.
