In the Summer of 2023, I was given the enjoyable task of editing the The Dwayne Huebner Interviews, “A 2015 collection of interviews with the late Dwayne Huebner, by William Pinar and Joseph Kyser”, and making them public on YouTube. Here’s a link to the playlist: see Part 1 and some (ongoing) notes from Huebner below.

The Capacity for Wonder (1959)
- What do we do in our educational program to snuff out the spark of curiosity and wonder and awe – indeed, kill the child for the sake of conformity and functional performance in this world of technical proficiency?
- We cannot foster the capacity for wonder if our whole educational program is completely functional….
Religious metaphors in the language of education
- the lure of the transcendent—that which we seem is not what we are for we could always be other. Education is the openness to a future that is beyond all futures. Education is the protest against present forms that they may be reformed and transformed
Practicing the presence of God. Religious Education
- We are our relationships. Our so-called personalities and habits of language and thinking are the fabric of yesterday-the way we are in relationship with the people of our past. Our present feelings are often the conflicts or compatibilities between the fabric of yesterday and the fabric of today. Our hopes are the images of the fabric of tomorrow. The tension between our hopes and our present is a consequence of fabrics that do not match perfectly. To sew them together is to risk tears. Reweaving is necessary, not merely sewing together different fabrics.
