I Dislike the Idea of Choice, and I Want to Tell You Why.
Kozol, Jonathan
Educational Leadership, v50 n3 p90-92 Nov 1992
Voucher plans are undemocratic and will perpetuate class distinctions and the fragmentation of society. The choice agenda will particularize loyalties rather than encourage a sense of common loyalties among people. The individual parent will be forced to claw and scramble for the benefit of his/her kid only. We should not dismantle democratic education without first trying it. (MLH)
