- Summary:
- "American public schooling was intended to shape and unify democratic citizens, but by its nature it forces divisive conflict. And democracy is not the goal of American government; liberty is. The Fractured Schoolhouse posits that freedom in education is not only consistent with liberty but is better suited to produce unity than public schooling"-- Provided by publisher.
