Journal of Educational Controversy

Welcome to the Journal of Educational Controversy — an interdisciplinary electronic journal of ideas. The purpose of this peer reviewed journal is to provide a national and international forum for examining the dilemmas and controversies that arise in the education of citizens in a pluralistic, democratic society.

JEC has been published since 2006 and we have recently transferred previously published issues to Western CEDAR. Our first issue published directly in Western CEDAR was in 2015. Download usage figures during the first ten years are not included.

THE JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL CONTROVERSY HAS BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO THE UNIVERSITY'S BUDGET CUTS. WE WANT TO EXTEND OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO ALL OUR READERS AND AUTHORS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS. WHATEVER THE FUTURE HOLDS, THE JOURNAL STANDS AS A TWENTY-YEAR CHRONICLE OF CONTROVERSIAL EDUCATIONAL DEBATES—CAPTURED DURING A CRITICAL MOMENT IN OUR NATION’S DEMOCRACY.
