A particularly nasty anti-school-choice piece at the NYT
Here. Katherine Stewart (author of "The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault [RG: !] on Our [RG: !] Children") digs in and reveals that the use of the term "government schools" by education-reform advocates gives away their genealogical and moral connections to segregationism and Rushdoony-style theocratic yearnings. Or something. She, and anyone who reads her screed, should read, e.g., Charles Glenn's "Myth of the Common School" (link) and Joseph Viteritti's "Choosing Equality" (link). Not to mention John McGreevy and Philip Hamburger.
