NEIL G. MCCLUSKEY (born December 15, 1920 - May 27, 2008): journalist, professor, administrator, popular lecturer and presenter, historian, philosopher of education, Catholic educator, religious educator and gerontological educator. McCluskey was a member of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) for nearly forty years of his life. He is known for his outgoing and friendly manner and quick wit. He insightfully addressed critical issues in the development of public and Catholic Education in the United States during the historically significant periods before and after the Second Vatican Council of the Catholic Church (1962-1965). McCluskey is known best for his discussions of educational theory and practice in Catholic Viewpoint on Education (1959) and Catholic Education Faces Its Future (1968). His work continues to help religious educators understand the distinctive nature of religious education; and how a person can be rooted in a specific faith tradition or community, and, yet, remain open to dialogue with those from other faith traditions or communities. McCluskey's work also remains relevant to contemporary debates about state support for private schools and whether or not U. S. public and private schools can and should provide moral education.
