A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door

A trenchant analysis of how public education is being destroyed in overt and deceptive ways-and how to fight back ""A powerful analysis of the predatory, profit-seeking forces that threaten our nation's public schools. . . . If you care about the future of our society, read this book. "" -Diane Ravitch, author of Slaying Goliath and Reign of ErrorIn 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. ""Cutting 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.
