About the Book

Revolt Against the K-12 Status QUO

This book shines a spotlight on an open secret:  the vast disparities among the 50 states in funding and spending on public K-12 education.  Public education has long been largely a LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY, a STATE FUNCTION, and a MERE FEDERAL INTEREST.

How is it, how was it, that in a country where young boys and girls are supposed to have EQUAL RIGHTS and OPPORTUNITIES under the law, we have condoned such long-running disparities … which are unjust as they are inequitable?

The book’s thesis: Society’s inattentive embrace of the problematic policy which says education is merely a federal interest must end. It’s time for a ‘revolt’ against the K-12 status quo. The sooner it happens, the better it will be for American democracy.
