The main objective of this article is showing that in USA is a crisis of meaning and values – one that leads to a debasement of human relationships, accelerating materialism and greed, and misplaced fixation on celebrity and glamour. In this context there is a compelling need to articulate a new bottom line for education – one that offers a different vision for educating our children that directly and cogently speaks to human purpose and meaning in the world that that they will inherit. In this article I try to describe that new vision of education - the pedagogy of peace.
