The Other School Reformers: Conservative Activism in American Education

In: De Gruyter eBook-Paket Sozialwissenschaften

Laats, Adam

The idea that American education has been steered by progressivism is accepted as fact by liberals and conservatives alike. Adam Laats shows that this belief is wrong. Calling to center stage conservatives who shaped America's classrooms, he shows that in the long march of American public education, progressive reform has been a beleaguered dream.
