Should Public Education Yield to Christian Fundamentalism?
Holton, Samuel M.
High School Journal, v64 n5 p229-31 Feb 1981
The author cites Dewey to indicate that moral instruction is of central concern to public educators, but that attempts by Christian fundamentalists to restrict this teaching to doctrinaire formulas should be resisted. Originally presented as a speech at the 1980 Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Philosophy of Education Society. (SJL)
