Common Schools/Uncommon Identities : National

How can we resolve the debates between groups such as blacks, Latinos, gays, and women who demand that school curricula recognize their particular identities and others who insist that public education should infuse children with a common American identity? Educational philosopher Walter Feinberg here takes on the debate and suggests ways to promote both cultural and national identities.

Walter Feinberg is professor of the philosophy of education at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
