Abstract

John Dewey held that education is the intelligent transmission of culture between generations, making the question of culture crucial. While liberalism generally resists intrusion into culture, prioritizing the consent of the governed, Eric Weber argues in A Culture of Justice that society shares a public obligation to create and sustain a culture of justice. Recent state and federal actions ban efforts to make education more equitable and inclusive, illustrating the challenge to a culture of justice as well as the reason why efforts must extend beyond the narrow realm of politics. Political actions matter and must continue, but social, moral, and cultural work is equally essential. Weber outlines practical ways individuals and communities can fight against cultural injustice and for more inclusive and fairer educational environments.
