Description
From racial segregation to unauthorized immigration, from economic inequality to public prayer and homeschooling, the Supreme Court has addressed many divisive issues concerning our educational system. Driver provides a fresh account of the historic legal battles, and argues that since the 1970s the Supreme Court has transformed public schools into Constitution-free zones. He highlights the personal narratives behind landmark clashes, and shows how the decisions have threatened our basic constitutional order--Adapted from publisher info.
