This volume introduces a new conception of political education
and new roles for headteachers and parents in the creation of a
more democratic educational system. The book proposes curbing the
power of teachers, including headteachers, stripping parents of
their rights, and making political education the keystone of
education. It considers what kind of educational strategies would
be appropriate to help move a society like our own towards greater
democracy, in the light of a co-ordinated set of proposals about
the democratic organization of political decision-making, and the
development of democratic attitudes, notably fraternity. All this
is underpinned by a radical analysis of basic democratic principles
and assumptions, and a fundamental critique of the power-sharing
machinery of such contemporary democratic societies as the UK and
USA.
