Epilogue
This chapter presents an opinion on the mission of education in a democratic nation like the United States. It suggests that democracy should be the primary mission of education just as public education is a primary mission of democracy. It explains that liberal education and education for liberty should ideally involve asking tough questions and offering provisional answers. Individual conceptions of liberty are also important in restoring schools to democracy and returning democracy to schools.
