The Politics of Education
Education has been a thing that has suddenly become a flashpoint in American politics. Most parents and the public agree teachers are professionals who should be trusted to make decisions about classroom curriculum That's not bad Where it gets complicated is we also ask parents they worried about what their children are learning in school or may learn in school?

Undertow of this tension between teacher trust and anxiety suggests that these culture war fights are starting to get people's attention.
