Educating for Democracy: A Lesson from the Past.
Ross, E. Wayne
Social Education, v52 n6 p450,472 Oct 1988
Compares the American Federation of Teachers' pamphlet, "Education for Democracy: A Statement of Principles," to H. Gordon Hullfish's views on democratic education expressed in 1955. Stating that the pamphlet is an "unabashed call for political indoctrination," Ross argues that the best education for citizens in a democracy is one that exemplifies the flexibility and tolerance demanded by democratic principles.
