Fostering Moral Democracy.

Cookson, Peter W., Jr.

Educational Leadership, v59 n2 p42-45 Oct 2001

After creating developmentally appropriate curricula to satisfy students' needs and encourage genius, educators must design schools according to democratic principles. Educators must make education free and universally accessible, equalize opportunities and resources, abolish family wealth's influence, respect students' diverse abilities and desires, and teach core democratic values.
