520 _aFrom "social justice" to critical race theory, and from advocacy and activism campaigns, teachers and schools nationwide are abandoning neutrality in the classroom, embracing political agendas and partisan aims, and expecting students to get on board. Students with doubts or misgivings decline to voice objections due to fears of lowered grades, impacted college recommendation letters, social ostracism, public shaming, and other means of making them toe the ideological line. Will this kind of "education" produce able citizens or independent thinkers capable of self-government? Kerrigan Snyder provides the tools we need to confront and remove hidden agendas, to uproot and reject educational biases, and to restore balance and integrity to America's classrooms. -- adapted from back cover of jacket
