Thomas Jefferson.
He championed public education as essential to a republic, favored decentralized (state and local) control of schooling, and promoted free inquiry and a broad curriculum (e.g., founding the University of Virginia and arguing for separation of church and state in education). These ideas match the slogan’s emphasis on freedom in learning, state power, and an education responsive to a plural society.
