Civic Education and the Good.
Frimannsson, Gudmunder Heidar
Studies in Philosophy and Education, v20 n4 p303-315 Jul 2001
Argues that children need to learn about civic issues in their education because certain virtues are required for a decently organized society. Also contends that the school has obligations to educate the young in civics and impart knowledge because it is in the students' best interests; this is not an encroachment on the privacy of the individual.
