| Abstract: |
This article focuses on an education of variety and freedom. In the most heterogeneous and dynamic national civilization ever known, unprecedentedly interested in providing everyone with all the schooling he can use, it inevitably makes formal education a matter of intense controversy in practically all respects all the time. Not even a vast public educational institution specializing in adult graduate students is the same sort of thing as the nation or any of its general communities; it is inevitably a special-purpose institution, which has to make many of its own rules, religion or national origin. The development of rules which approximate the legal canons of civil liberties which govern the nation and its citizens generally is especially important with regard to the free speech of teachers, and the principle of tenure which serves that free speech-because the teacher's particular role is to exercise that prime freedom of inquiry and communication. |
