The Teacher's Manifesto: A Cry of Justice for All

By Krishna Madan

How are Salem witches, Trump's popularity, police abuses, offshore banks, and terrorism connected to education? The Teacher Manifesto explains Weaving history, literature, politics, economics, and religion, this book shows how the special interests destroying our children's education actually threaten all professionals and workers while undermining democracy itself. Linking the past with the present, The Teacher's Manifesto reveals the sexism lurking behind flawed criticisms of teachers. It also points to this scapegoating as a harbinger of increasing injustice and the middle-class decline exploited by opportunistic politicians. The Teacher's Manifesto gets to the very root of our connected problems. It shows how Americans, by striving for justice at home and abroad, can regain dignity at work and as citizens while resisting fear and demagogues. Get this book for anyone who loves learning and seeing connections. Get it for someone who cares about the direction of our schools, police forces, political process, economic system, and foreign policy.
