  • Public education, democratic citizenship and cultural difference : the role of reason in multicultural democratic education
    Siegel, Harvey, 1952-
    How should public education in democratic states deal with the cultural diversity brought about by contemporary globalization? My suggestion is that key to democratic public education is the ... obligation to foster in students the skills and abilities, and attitudes and dispositions, needed to participatefully in democratic decision making. These include many things, but of central importance are the abilities and dispositions required for rational argumentation: evaluating arguments of others, constructing arguments of one's own that are capable of rationally persuading one's fellow citizens, etc. Without these abilities and dispositions, full participation in democratic decision making is impossible. But fostering them is problematic, when students are members of cultures in which argumentation is frowned upon. In this paper I address this tension, and argue that while respecting cultural differences is of the first importance, it cannot override or trump the requirements of democracy itself. When these two clash -when, for example, members of anti-democratic cultures become citizens of democratic states - the requirements of democratic participation must take precedence.
