The Education Wars: A Citizen’s Guide and Defense Manual is now out and I couldn’t be more excited. The book is short and snappy and was written with tons of input from activists on the ground. I think you’ll like it!

I wrote the book with my favorite co-author, education historian Jack Schneider, and our goal was to help you understand why we’re always fighting over schools in this country (and why we’re fighting over them so intensely right now.) And most importantly, what can defenders of public education–like me and you–do to help ensure that this essential institution survives?
