Heimans, Stephen; Singh, Parlo; Kwok, Henry – European Educational Research Journal, 2022
In this paper, the argument that we make is that public education emerges from when democracy is put into practice in education. For the purposes of this paper we use pedagogic rights as proposed by Basil Bernstein as a way to frame and support this 'putting into practice'.

Levitsky, Steven; Ziblatt, Daniel – American Educator, 2020
Nearly all living Americans grew up taking democracy for granted. Until recently, many believed--and acted as if--the constitutional system was unbreakable, no matter how recklessly politicians behaved. No longer.
