This article reviews William Coulson's assertions that Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and he initiated the humanistic education field, that Rogers repudiated his philosophy late in life, and that they owe the nation's parents an apology. The author argues that these charges are groundless and self‐serving and provides examples and quotations from Rogers's later writings to show how Rogers remained constant to his basic person‐centered beliefs until his death.
