The tradition of classroom deliberation and the evasion of racial justice as a social issue, 1916-1966
Evading racial justice during World War II and the Cold War During World War II, Civil Rights advocate and Black sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois recognized the irony of the President’s Roosevelt’s four freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear—and its inapplicability to Black citizens. “The continuing failure of war philosophers to mention the race and Color Line,” Du Bois (1941) wrote, “continues to be a matter of distress to racial philosophers” (p.
Schools and the Specter of Authoritarianism
Writing in 1949, the historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., warned that the rise of authoritarianism across the globe represented "more than an internal crisis for democratic society." Authoritarianism, he declared, "signified an internal crisis for democratic man." According to Schlesinger, there potentially was "a Hitler, a Stalin in every breast." Many U.S. political leaders and public intellectuals in the twentieth century shared that dark vision.

The Ethnocentric Origins of the Learning Style Idea
The learning-styles concept appears to have wide acceptance not only among educators,” Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, and Bjork (2009) reported, “but also among parents and the general public” (p. 106). In recent decades, the idea that teachers should align their instruction with students’ particular learning style, cognitive style, and/or learner preference has become commonplace in the literature on effective teaching.
John Dewey and the New Left, 1960-1988
In this intellectual history, the author traces the refashioning, fall, and re-emergence of the reception of Dewey’s work between 1960 and 1988 by student-centred radicals, de-schooling advocates, neo-Marxists, critical educators, and feminist pedagogues—scholars collectively known as the New Left. New Left scholars rejected the assimilationist, bureaucratic, and elitist ideas of the 1940s and 1950s and espoused existential, participatory, and localized educational alternatives.
TCRecord: Article
by Thomas Fallace & Victoria Fantozzi - 2017 Background/Context: Over the last century, perhaps no school in American history has been studied more than John Deweys Laboratory School at the University of Chicago (18961904).

The Origins of Classroom Deliberation: Democratic Education in the Shadow of Totalitarianism, 1938-1960
The Origins of Classroom Deliberation: Democratic Education in the Shadow of Totalitarianism, 1938–1960 Many theorists of democratic education assume that the idea of having students deliberate about social issues in the classroom can be traced directly to the student-centered and reform-oriented ideals of interwar educational theorists such as John Dewey and Harold Rugg. However, in this intellectual history, Thomas D.
The Savage Origins of Child-Centered Pedagogy, 1871-1913
Child-centered pedagogy is at the ideological core of progressive education. The simple idea that the child rather than the teacher or textbook should be the major focus of the classroom is, perhaps, the single most enduring educational idea of the era. In this historical study, the author argues that child-centered education emerged directly from the theory of recapitulation, the idea that the development of the White child retraced the history of the human race.
