This essay serves as an introduction to yet another series of essays that I will be writing in the weeks ahead, this time on the topic of educational freedom. In my previous 10-part series on the question of rights and education (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here), I established the moral foundation for thinking about education in a free society. I there explored questions such as:
-
Is there a right to an education?
-
Do parents have an unalienable right to determine how, in what, and by whom their children will be educated?
-
What rights or authority does the government have to educate children?
