Abstract
Certain basic principles lead to the growth of trusting and respectful relationships between individuals, groups, and organizations. They are commonly spoken but perhaps not so commonly practiced. Courtesy, kindness, justice, open-mindedness, and good will are the foundation stones upon which fruitful communication can be built. Yet these values are too often lost in the clash of ideas we are witnessing in the late twentieth century. Education finds itself at the center of what some have called a 'cultural war.' As our society grapples with an onslaught of perceived threats to our health, well-being, and beliefs, many in our communities have come to see public education as the source of what is wrong with America. How can educators and the publics that they serve overcome this perception and move toward agreement on what is best for the children?
