Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a radical restructuring of educational theory and practice in response to the current educational and social climate. The author argues that America urgently needs a national system of education to equip citizens for democracy, beginning with a reexamination of the philosophy of democracy, religion, and morality that will serve as a foundation for educational philosophy. Then comes the development of professionalism among educators, a renewed focus on health education, industrial and vocational education, and a social perspective that recognizes that individualism cannot sustain the institutions of a democratic society. The author proposes a universal high school, and a compulsory curriculum based on social sciences, critical thinking, and community engagement. Ultimately, the book argues that while strong public education is foundational, we also need a unied system of religious education that complements the public system, is inclusive of all religions, and guarantees the spiritual homogeneity of a democratic citizenry. This book is a significant contribution for anyone interested in reexamining the machinery of education to develop a system that produces citizens who are equipped with knowledge, ethics, and purpose to sustain a democratic society.
