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 waysand how to fight back

A powerful analysis of the predatory, profit-seeking forces that threaten our nations public schools. . . . If you care about the future of our society, read this book. Diane Ravitch, author of Slaying Goliath and Reign of Error

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 policiesschool vouchers, the war on teachers unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and moredriving the movements 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 systemand 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.
