ABSTRACT
Tolerance in education and nurture can be discussed more briefly than either of the other two special cases covered in this book. That is largely because a compendium of the characteristic features of educational neutralism is ready to hand in a book by Bruce Ackerman. This opus is by far the most impressive and explicit attempt by anyone to render the neutralist outlook coherent. Its treatments of various areas of policy are bold in conception, imaginative in argument, and daring in scope; in criticizing, I attack the neutralist theory of education at its highest rather than its lowest point. The problem is simply that it is wrong. 1
