"Betsy DeVos may be the most prominent face of the seeming push to dismantle public education, but educational policy experts Jennifer Berkshire and Jack Schneider believe she’s part of a larger movement that’s been steadily gaining power for decades. While support for public education today is stronger than ever, Berkshire and Schneider argue, the movement to save our schools remains fragmented, variable, and voluntary while those who seem set on tearing down the public school system are unified, patient, and well-resourced. Tonight Jennifer Berkshire and Jack Schneider discuss A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door: The Dismantling of Public Education and the Future of School (The New Press) with Diane Ravitch." (Promo Copy)
