A Profound Unknowing The Challenge of Religion in the Liberal Education of World Citizens
Gummer, Natalie
Liberal Education, v91 n2 p44-49 Spr 2005
Discussions of world citizenship that elide the challenge of grappling with religious worldviews expose a covert intolerance at the very core of secularism, calling into question the "liberality" of liberal education. The ethical imperative of engaging with different worldviews not only demands that religions be taught, but also raises questions regarding how religious worldviews should be taught.
