Teaching toward Freedom: Early Childhood Education and the Challenges Ahead
Ayers, William
Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, v26 n3 p321-325 Jul 2005

Early childhood education is not immune from the struggles over what it means to be human and what the dimensions of a good society are or should be. This article offers an argument for early childhood to take up the challenge.
