Harry Brighouse (2000)

School Choice and Social Justice

New York : Oxford University Press

Defends a theory of social justice for education from within an egalitarian version of liberalism. <br>

The theory involves a strong commitment to educational equality, and to the idea that children's rights include a right to personal autonomy. The book argues that school reform must always be evaluated from the perspective of social justice and applies the theory, in particular, to school choice proposals.<br><br> It looks at the parental choice schemes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and in England and Wales, and argues that they fall short of the requirements of justice, but that not all such schemes must do so. It elaborates an abstract voucher scheme that would combine choice with justice, and offers ways by which actual choice-based reform can be modified to meet the requirements of justice.
