Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In contemporary democracies, the state is responsible for providing children with an education. But parents surely have both the right and responsibility for instilling appropriate morals and values in their children. How should we reconcile conflicts between the state_x0090_s responsibility to properly educate minors and the parents_x0090_ rights to influence their children's values and ideals? Should the government_x0090_s approach to education in areas such as history and science always trump that of the child_x0090_s most direct guardians? Or should parents hold some veto power when it comes to education about evolution, sex, and other issues that bear on religious and personal values? John and Ken do their homework with Stanford political scientist Rob Reich, co-editor of Education, Justice, and Democracy, for a program recorded live at the Marsh Theater in San Francisco.
