dc.description.abstract | As the mixed achievements of charter schools come under more intense
political inspection, the conceptual underpinnings of current charter school
reform remain largely unexamined. This article focuses on one moralpolitical
concept centrally related to school reform and policy, the concept of
justice. Using examples from the state of Ohio, the authors sketch two contrary
concepts of justice, tracing their logical trajectory to varied empirical
consequences as these relate to charter schooling policy. They contrast these
two theories of justice as “libertarian justice” and “democratic justice.” There
is ample evidence to suggest that a libertarian sense of justice has pervasively
shaped charter policies and minimal evidence to suggest the influence of a
democratic sense of justice, based on principles of both recognition and
redistribution. The full democratic potential of charter schooling reform
cannot be achieved without a democratic conception of justice driving its
policies and goals. | en_US |
