Radical Dreamers - Race, Choice, and the Failure of American Education

In Radical Dreamers, Joseph P. Viteritti presents a wide-ranging history of the most controversial educational reform movement in America: school choice. Using it as a lens for observing the broader history of American educational failure, Viteritti traces how the school choice movement emerged to correct disparities in education and help economically disadvantaged students of color but evolved into a mechanism to provide public funding for students, irrespective of income, to attend private and religious schools. Viteritti''s story is brought to life by featuring the contributions of six major figures whose careers helped shape this history and the ongoing debate.
