Protecting Children's Access to a Sound Basic Education in the Age of Political Polarization, A Comment on Goodwin Liu and Kristine Bowman's Essays on Children's Education in the Restatement
2024
Overview
Justice Goodwin Liu and Professor Kristine Bowman have taken two very different approaches in their essays commenting on the Restatement's coverage of the law governing children's education. In 'Some Thoughts on a Developmental Approach to a Sound Basic Education', Justice Liu focuses near exclusively on the Restatement's articulation of the core educational standard, the \"sound basic education,\" and presses for an expanded application of that standard to children from birth through young adulthood. In 'The New Parents' Rights Movement, Education, and Equality', Bowman addresses the entire structure of the educational provisions of the Restatement, which straddle Part 1, \"Children in Families,\" and Part 2, \"Children in Schools,\" and warns us of the fragility of the balance between these two sources of educational control in our legal system. Attending these differences in focus are important differences in tone: Justice Liu is optimistically ambitious, calling for developments in the law that extend beyond what can currently be restated. Professor Bowman is pessimistic, predicting that the recent \"parents' rights movement\" threatens the stability of the restated law, to the detriment of children's and society's well-being. At the same time, the two pieces share important common ground. Most significantly, they share a concern about the growing polarization in our society and a belief that our system of education must play a central role in resisting this trend.
