Conclusion --$tNotes --$tIndex 330 $aAt no time in the past century have there been fiercer battles over our public schools than there are now. Parents and educational reformers are challenging not only the mission, content, and structure of mass compulsory schooling but also its underlying premise-that the values promoted through public education are neutral and therefore acceptable to any reasonable person. In this important book, Rosemary Salomone sets aside the ideological and inflammatory rhetoric that surrounds today's debates over educational values and family choice. She offers instead a fair-minded examination of education for democratic citizenship in a society that values freedom of conscience and religious pluralism. And she proposes a balanced course of action that redefines but does not sever the relationship between education and the state. Salomone demonstrates how contemporary conflicts are the product of past educational and social movements. She lays bare some of the myths that support the current government monopoly over education and reveals how it privileges those of economic means. Through a detailed case study of recent controversy in a suburban New York school district, the author explores the legal and policy issues that arise when widely disparate world views stand in the way of political compromise on educational materials, techniques, and programs. Salomone builds a case for educational governance that places the developmental needs of the child at the center of family autonomy. She advances a plan that respects diverse values and visions of schooling while preserving the core commitments that bind our nation. 606 $aSchool choice$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity and school$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xCurricula$zUnited States 606 $aMoral education$zUnited States 606 $aEducation and state$zUnited States 615 0$aSchool choice 615 0$aCommunity and school 615 0$aEducation$xCurricula 615 0$aMoral education 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a371.19/0973 700 $aSalomone$b Rosemary C$01036870 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777861203321 996 $aVisions of schooling$93716367 997 $aUNINA
