DIALOGUES (MERD) SEMINAR presents:
David J. Blacker,
Professor of Philosophy, University of Delaware
The Race to Nowhere: Abandoning the Promise of Universal Education
Universal education is beloved as an ideal while its reality
is being extinguished. Heralded as expansions of access where we “race to the
top” and “leave no child behind,” initiatives involving marketization,
austerity, privatization and student debt combine to eliminate and expel
growing segments of the rising generation.
Why is this happening? And why now? David J.
Blacker outlines a coherent framework for understanding the current onslaught
against all levels of public education. It all comes down to deep and troubling
changes in the economy that “education reform” cannot touch and that nobody
wants to talk about.
