The book explores a constitutional argument as to why the author believes urban schools are violating the 14th amendment. The author uses first-hand accounts as basis for his assertion, alone with secondary research to bolster his claim. The author agrees that his argument may be tenuous at best, but the idea behind the book is to get educators, school experts, policy makers and anyone concern with the plight of urban student education to begin to think about this issue through a constitutional crisis lens. The work is thoughtful, provocative, and will prick your minds about the way we view the urban school crisis.
