Rethinking American schooling for democracy
This concise study surveys trends in education shaped by recent events and argues for a modern, nationwide approach to learning and religious education. It frames why philosophy, leadership, and organized systems matter today as the nation rebuilds.
In clear, practical terms, the book discusses how health education, professional leadership among educators, and a cohesive administrative structure could transform schools. It also outlines how religious education might fit into a national framework that respects denominational identities while uniting the broader public school purpose.
