The Malfunction of US Education Policy

Elite Misinformation, Disinformation, and Selfishness

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Policy formation" should be an objective process. However, US education policy is formed by opportunistic "strategic scholars" promoting only their own work. Wealthy foundations, political parties, and celebrity-obsessed journalists sustain this information degradation. The Malfunction of US Education Policy examines how education suffers for it.
