Democracy of School. On the Conflict of Democratic Upbringing and Political Education in the Conscience of Teachers

Reinhard Mehring ; University of Education, Institute of Social Sciences, Department of Political Sciences, Heidelberg, Germany

Abstract

Following some remarks on teacher training in general and on the principal primacy of liberalism over democracy the author argues that political education in secondary schools should teach basically the political institutions and the legal system as such. However, there seems to be a growing conflict between teaching democracy and the capacity of political judgement in an increasingly complex and diversified world of politics.
