Updated with both a new introduction and a series of interviews, the second edition of Education and the Crisis of Public Values examines American society¿s shift away from democratic public values, the ensuing move toward a market-driven mode of education, and the last decade¿s growing social disinvestment in youth. The book discusses the number of ways that the ideal of public education as a democratic public sphere has been under siege, including full-fledged attacks by corporate interests on public school teachers, schools of education, and teacher unions. It also reveals how a business culture cloaked in the guise of generosity and reform has supported a charter school movement that aims to dismantle public schools in favor of a corporate-friendly privatized system. The book encourages educators to become public intellectuals, willing to engage in creating a formative culture of learning that can nurture the ability to defend public and higher education as a general good ¿ one crucial to sustaining a critical citizenry and a democratic society.
