The Scars and Trophies of a Reformer
Ravitch, Diane
Academic Questions, v18 n2 p7-19 Mar 2005
America's leading historian of education recounts a lifetime in the cause of responsible school reform. Diane Ravitch's blow-by-blow description of run-ins with Afrocentrist firebrand Leonard Jeffries, misguided feminists at the AAUW, the language sensitivity police, and others offers a fascinating perspective on how the education establishment has brought us to our current impasse.
