Democracy, Freedom, and Justice after September 11th: Rethinking the Role of Educators and the Politics of Schooling.
Giroux, Henry A.
Teachers College Record, v104 n6 p1138-62 Mar 2002
Illustrates how life in post-September 11 America is both a rupture from certain anti-government politics that dominated before that day and a continuation of the pre-September 11 promotion of global capitalism and the abandonment of efforts to create greater equality. The paper attempts to help educators contemplate the role of public schools in facilitating an alternative discourse grounded in a critique of militarism, consumerism, and racism. (SM)
