Abstract | The educational views of former Justice Lewis Powell as expressed in his legal opinions during his 15.5 years on the U.S. Supreme Court are addressed in this paper. Powell's written legal opinions on the need for maintaining discipline and order in the classroom, upholding the authority of school boards to determine curriculum, the importance of the teacher as role model, and the overall value of individual education to society are discussed in relationship to his educational theories. A conclusion is that Powell holds conflicting educational viewpoints that do not serve as a consistent progressive or traditional model for educators. A recommendation is made for educators to understand the combination of educational theories espoused in his legal opinions. Extensive footnotes are included. (LMI) |
