Silencing in Public Schools.
Fine, Michelle
Language Arts, v64 n2 p157-74 Feb 1987
Examines what is not discussed in schools and how "undesirable" talk is subverted, appropriated, and exported. Defines silencing as a process of institutionalized policies and practices that obscure the social, economic, and experiential conditions of students' daily lives and that expels critical talk about these conditions.
