This article demonstrates that schools can reinforce the rising of a democratic society by the use of systematic methodology and curricula proposed by Reconstructionism as a philosophy of education, and its leading proponents, Brameld, Toffler and Counts. The paper first analyzes three criteria through which education can become a tool for achieving social consensus; the use of a maximum presentation of evidence; the maximum communication of that evidence; and the maximum agreement among the widest possible range of people.
