A teacher's failure to create an intellectually reflective, engagement for learning is not simply malpractice but it is immoral particularly for students who cannot withdraw.

The most controversial issues of the twenty-first century will pertain to the ends and means of modifying human behavior and who shall determine them. The first educational question will not be 'what knowledge is of the most worth?' but 'what kinds of human beings do we wish to produce?' The possibilities virtually defy our imagination.

Most youth still hold the same values of their parents…if we do not alter this pattern, if we don’t resocialize, our system will decay.

It is my expectation that Teacher Education for Democracy and Social Justice will become a rich resource for continuing this multi-layered conversation-from democratic belief to democratic action-that is the hallmark of educational renewal.

Enlightened social engineering is required to face situations that demand global action now.

Public education has served as a check on the power of parents, and this is another powerful reason for maintaining it.

The curriculum of the future will be what one might call the humanistic curriculum.
