Overview
A trenchant analysis of how public education is being destroyed in overt and deceptive waysāand how to fight back
āA powerful analysis of the predatory, profit-seeking forces that threaten our nationās public schools. . . . If you care about the future of our society, read this book.ā āDiane Ravitch, author of Slaying Goliath and Reign of Error
In the āvigorous, well-informedā (Kirkus Reviews) A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door, the co-hosts of the popular education podcast Have You Heard expose the potent network of conservative elected officials, advocacy groups, funders, and think tanks that are pushing a radical vision to do away with public education.
āCut[ing] through the rhetorical fog surrounding a host of free-market reforms and innovationsā (Mike Rose), Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire lay bare the dogma of privatization and reveal how it fits into the current context of right-wing political movements. A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door āgoes above and beyond the typical explanationsā (SchoolPolicy.org), giving readers an up-close look at the policiesāschool vouchers, the war on teachersā unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and moreādriving the movementās agenda.
Called āwell-researched, carefully argued, and alarmingā by Library Journal, this smart, essential book has already incited a public reckoning on behalf of the millions of families served by the American educational systemāand many more who stand to suffer from its unmaking. āJust as with good sci-fi,ā according to Jacobin, āthe authors make a compelling case that, based on our current trajectory, a nightmare future is closer than we think.ā
