Beskrivning
Parents worried that their children would be marginalized by their peers at school. They gave examples in which they were singled out because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, language, religion, or disabilities. They identified others who were picked out because of their family’s income, immigration status, association with the armed services, or attitudes towards medical issues. The parents were assured that changes were in the works to protect marginalized students. They reviewed changes to curricula, instruction, textbooks, disciplinary strategies, counseling techniques, tests, school-sponsored events, school terminology, athletic competitions, restroom policies, dress codes, disability policies, and extracurricular activities. Many parents had confidence in these changes. However, some were skeptical. The two groups argued with each other at local schoolboard meetings. They escalated their arguments after attracting the attention of journalists, scholars, and elected officials.

Recensioner i media

This book tackles some of most intractable parental dilemmas of our time. Rather than settling these issues to the satisfaction of either side of the debate, the author attempts to portray the complexities surrounding these issues for the reader to resolve. This book is an indispensable read for any parent or grandparent who is attempting to learn about and become active in the single most controversial issue of our time – whose children are these – the state’s or the parent’s? This book encourages us all to think about our positionalities in all of their complexities.
