What Kind of Education Is Required in a Democracy?

I came across this as I was surfing this morning. It is a nice piece about how the ancient greeks understood that education was needed to create good citizens. The author argues that they believed that people needed to be trained to respectfully listen, work har,d and speak clearly & persuasively in order to insure a functioning system.

Where else can you find this, even if rarely, but in a university and especially in the liberal arts.
