These are dif­fi­cult times for pub­lic edu­ca­tion. It is under polit­i­cal attack by what not­ed edu­ca­tor and schol­ar Hen­ry Giroux calls the apos­tles of author­i­tar­i­an­ism.” He says, Pub­lic schools, more than ever, are sub­ject to the tox­ic forces of pri­va­ti­za­tion and mind­less stan­dard­ized cur­ric­u­la while teach­ers are de-skilled and sub­ject to intol­er­a­ble labor con­di­tions, not unlike Wal­mart work­ers. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, pub­lic and high­er edu­ca­tion now mim­ic a busi­ness cul­ture run by a man­age­r­i­al army of bureau­crats, more suit­ed to work as accoun­tants in pen­cil fac­to­ries than in schools. At the same time, all lev­els of edu­ca­tion are under attack by right-wing politi­cians who are cen­sor­ing his­to­ry, for­bid­ding dis­cus­sions about racism, elim­i­nat­ing tenure, and impos­ing enor­mous restric­tions on teacher autonomy.”
