A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door
The Dismantling of Public Education and the Future of School
A trenchant analysis of how public education is being destroyed in overt and deceptive ways?and how to fight back In the ?vigorous, well-informed? (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. ?Cut[ing] through the rhetorical fog surrounding a host of free-market reforms and innovations? (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 ?goes above and beyond the typical explanations? (SchoolPolicy.org), giving readers an up-close look at the policies?school vouchers, the war on teachers? unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and more?driving the movement?s agenda. Called ?well-researched, carefully argued, and alarming? 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 system?and many more who stand to suffer from its unmaking. ?Just as with good sci-fi,? according to Jacobin, ?the authors make a compelling case that, based on our current trajectory, a nightmare future is closer than we think.?
