Critical Thinking as an Intellectual Right.
Siegel, Harvey
New Directions for Child Development, n33 p39-49 Fall 1986
Provides a philosophical defense of the view that children have an ethical right to an education that helps them become critical thinkers. Argues for a child's right not to be indoctrinated by anyone and points out an important distinction between morally repugnant indoctrination and nonindoctrinative inculcation of beliefs and attitudes.
