Abstract

The article investigates the last 15 years’ changes in the Danish law regarding private schools and asks to what extent the ideological and pedagogical freedom of the private schools have become more restricted. It traces the changes back to general concerns with integration of cultural and religious minorities and with the academic quality of schools, the latter in light of the international competitiveness of Danish society. The article finds that the freedom of the schools has become more limited and discusses whether the efforts to limit their freedom go beyond what is legitimate from a liberal democratic point of view. The article here finds that it is legitimate for a liberal democratic state to presuppose ability for political autonomy among its citizens, but it is controversial for the state to demand that schools instill specific values and loyalties into their students.
