Rethinking Education Reform in the Age of George Bush.
Giroux, Henry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v70 n9 p728-30 May 1989
In the current educational reform movement, schools have become the new scapegoat for the American economy's increasing failure to compete in the world market. The Bush Administration needs to articulate a vision linking public education to democratic imperatives, rather than the marketplace's narrow demands. Education for empowerment should be a central aim. (MLH)
