The Crisis of the Triumph of Liberalism.
Tesconi, C. A.
Educational Studies: A Journal in the Foundations of Education, v11 n3 p239-48 Fall 1980
Relates lack of clarity in educational thought and policymaking to the lack of direction in American society, resulting from a collapse of authority, breakdown of family and community ties, an erosion of traditional values, privatism v public good, and rejection of the past. Concludes, however, that these ills are not necessarily due to a failure of liberalism. (DB)
