"Advanced" Ideas about Democracy: Toward a Pluralistic Conception of Citizen Education.
Parker, Walter C.
Teachers College Record, v98 n1 p105-25 Fall 1996
Though citizenship education is a popular mission for public schools, it rests on a feeble conception of democratic citizenship that skirts social and cultural diversity. The article outlines a conception of democratic citizenship that is appropriate to pluralistic societies, and it describes appropriate participation, path, and assimilation in this endeavor. (SM)
