More about the book

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 Constituion-free zones. He highlights the personal narratives behind landmark clashes, and shows how the decisions have threatened our basic constitutional order. -- Adapted from publisher information
