Summary: | Scholars of political science, claiming to represent the views of many Canadians, say that the school system is out of step with the requirements of citizenship in a liberal democracy. Educators should promote literacy, convey principles of justice, and develop moral character, they say, and are not doing so. The solution is a reconsideration of the whole tradition of liberal education. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. |
