Abstract
A case study of a professional ethical dilemma is explored for its relevance and implications for the social studies education field as a whole. The case study involves the controversy about a UNESCO conference held in East Lansing, Michigan during 1976. Dimensions of the relationship between ethics and education used in the analysis include sources of ethical authority and an evolving international morality. Academic freedom, consistency in the use of reflective thought, and responsibilities of the mass media in dealing with controversial educational issues are three implications, for the social studies profession, which result from the analysis.
