| 摘要 | American localism rests on a fundamental faith in the merits of pluralism. Recognizing that communities have different histories, cultures, and priorities, local governance allows communities to make decisions in accord with shared values and routines. There is a complementary assumption that localism can foster not only better communities but also better citizens. Free to forge lives and ties among those who share their beliefs and values, individuals will be more responsible, civic-minded, and inclined to support communal endeavors. Nowhere, perhaps, has all of this historically been more evident in American life than in schooling. After all, the decisions schools make about curricula, discipline, norms, and hot-button issues go to the heart of how communities want to raise their children. Indeed, given the role schools have historically played in binding together the fates of neighborhoods, fostering understanding and interdependency among neighbors, it is no great feat to understand why in so many communities school choice is seen as a threat rather than a boon. In short, two time-tested notions of localism are in tension: one rooted in liberty and free association and the other in the bonds of community. The challenge for education reformers is that their assessment of relative merits here has become remarkably detached from that of many families, voters, and communities. This chapter can be found on pp. 68-75 in the volume “Localism in America” edited by Ryan Streeter of the American Enterprise Institute and Joel Kotkin of the Center for Opportunity Urbanism.
