Education reform is the name given to the goal of changing public education. Historically, the motivations for reform have reflected the contemporary needs of society. A consistent theme of reform includes the idea that systematic changes to educational standards will produce large social returns in citizen's health, wealth and well-being. Early education reform focused on making schooling more accessible by reducing the cost. For example, prior to the 18th century, the financial burden of classical education instruction from an in-home personal tutor, hired at the family's expense, was primarily a privilege for children from wealthy families. Encyclopedias, public libraries and grammar schools are examples of innovations intended to lower the cost of a classical education.

Academic freedom is a moral and legal concept expressing the conviction that the freedom of inquiry by faculty members is essential to the mission of the academy as well as the principles of academia, and that scholars should have freedom to teach or communicate ideas or facts without being targeted for repression, job loss, or imprisonment. While the core of academic freedom covers scholars acting in an academic capacity - as teachers or researchers expressing strictly scholarly viewpoints -, an expansive interpretation extends these occupational safeguards to scholars' speech on matters outside their professional expertise. It is a type of freedom of speech.

George Anastaplo was a professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Law and author who was famously denied admission for many years to the Illinois Bar. The denial of his admission became a Supreme Court case, In re Anastaplo, in which he insisted that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the privacy of political affiliations; in particular, he refused to answer questions about membership in the Communist Party. Anastaplo's stand was based on Constitutional principles and consequent rejection of McCarthyism, and nobody alleged that he had membership in the Communist Party. The Supreme Court's majority upheld the lower courts' ruling in favor of the Illinois Bar, although Justice Hugo Black dissented. After his Supreme Court case and denial of admission to the Bar, Anastaplo supported his family by teaching at the University of Chicago and other universities and colleges. He wrote many articles and books on philosophy, many of which acknowledged the influence of his teacher, Leo Strauss.
