Abstract | Several variants of the "melting pot" ideology have informed the actions of those responsible for educational policy-making in the United States. This ideology has increasingly come under attack by a variety of persons. The purpose of this paper is to outline several legal grounds on which this ideology has been and will be challenged and to spell out some of the implications of successful challenges. The "melting pot" ideology provided some of the impetus in all the states (except Mississippi). Finding in it the state's interest to both compel children to attend school and prevent them from working. At the same time, through the exercise of its policy powers, each of the states has developed a system for selecting and licensing those entrusted with the education of the state's young. There arises out of these interrelated state actions a complex web of issues. In other instances, the state has sought at least in theory to protect the public interest through occupational and professional licensing. But in virtually no other situation besides education is an individual compelled to use the services of one or more specific licensed practitioners. One would consequently expect that the process for designating and licensing of teachers would be extremely rigorous. (Author/JM) |
