- Title
Private Belief and Public Life.
- Authors
Covaleskie, John F.
- Abstract
The author focuses on the understanding that public spaces of a particular democratic society are moral spaces and the citizens abide by those morals. He states that citizens of a democratic society should act according to the virtues of the democracy. He implies that if the goal of school education is to promote the virtues of citizenship then the U.S. schools are not developing morality in students that support democratic life. He informs that the people of the U.S. do not qualify as citizens in context of moral formation that they wish for their children to be in.
