Manzer argues that, from its foundation, elementary and secondary education in Canada has been dominated by liberal conceptions and principles, with each successive liberal ideology taking its place as a public philosophy for state education.

Reviews
'As stakes in power struggles, public schools are not only objects of domination and products of compromise, they are also potentially agencies for creating political consensus. Their oganization and curricula may be imposed by a dominant social group or result from accommodation among conflicting interests. They may also result from rethinking and redefining conflicting particular interests into a common public interest or reconstructing competing ideological doctrines into a shared public philosophy.' From the introduction.
