We’Ve Come A Long Way (Baby)! Or Have We? Evolving Intellectual Freedom Issues In The Us And Florida, L. Bryan Cooper, A.D. Beman-Cavallaro
Works of the FIU Libraries
This paper analyzes a shifting landscape of intellectual freedom (IF) in and outside Florida for children, adolescents, teens and adults. National ideals stand in tension with local and state developments, as new threats are visible in historical, legal, and technological context. Examples include doctrinal shifts, legislative bills, electronic surveillance and recent attempts to censor books, classroom texts, and reading lists.
Privacy rights for minors in Florida are increasingly unstable. New assertions of parental rights are part of a larger conservative animus. Proponents of IF can identify a lessening of ideals and standards that began after doctrinal fruition in the 1960s …

However the new prison literature that has emerged over the past two decades through higher education programs within prisons has received little to no attention.

John Hughes May Be Onto Something: Anti-Authoritarianism In Education, Film And Policy, James M. Iddins
John Hughes May Be Onto Something: Anti-Authoritarianism In Education, Film And Policy, James M. Iddins
Graduate Student Publications
In this article, I use two popular anti-authoritarian films to explore often-overlooked options for the education reform debate and general issues related to educational public policy.

I contend that if we take into account our historical context, we come to a much different conclusion regarding these issues than we might have otherwise.
