  • Public education and the foundations of justice
    Pendlebury, Shirley
    Taking the principle of fidelity to reason as a warrant, Curren excavates from Aristotle's Politics an argument from the foundations of corrective justice as a persuasive argument for public ... education. This raises a host of questions. Who is eligible for just punishment? What is the proper way to respond to those who break the law but, according to the argument from corrective justice, are not eligible for just punishment? What is the scope of a just public education system? I consider these questions from the perspective of those marginal groups of people -- undocumented immigrants, refugees and returning combatants, and the very poor -- who suffer deep social injustices. Examples are drawn from the USA and South Africa. I suggest that Iris Young's account of social injustice provides a way of seeing when schools do not meet the conditions of adequacy for a just education system.
