Historical pressures have given rise to a doctrine that public education must be value-neutral in its curriculum. Education is to be seen as aiming at enlightenment but not commitment. Versions of value-neutrality are refuted, including the view that the goal of rational autonomy is non-partisan. This is seen to be a normative commitment, albeit educative, from which it appears that education can aim for commitments of a certain kind. Three other basic commitments consistent with the modem notion of education are identified and defended.
