ABSTRACT
In “Justice and the Threshold of Educational Equality” Randall Curren endorses the general idea that educational equality is best interpreted in terms of an educational threshold. I substantially agree with him on this point, and find his analysis both engaging and illuminating. Beyond this shared point of departure, however, I find the remainder of his argument, at best, inconclusive. I have reservations about his criticisms of Amy Gutmann’s democratic threshold1 and believe his alternative “threshold of social inclusion” has problems of its own.
