Featuring current information and challenging perspectives on the
latest issues and forces shaping the American educational
system—with scholarship that is often cited as a primary
source—Joel Spring introduces readers to the historical,
political, social, and legal foundations of education and to the
profession of teaching in the United States. In his signature
straightforward, concise approach to describing complex issues, he
illuminates events and topics that are often overlooked or
whitewashed, giving students the opportunity to engage in critical
thinking about education. Students come away informed on the latest
topics, issues and data and with a strong knowledge of the forces
shaping the American educational system. Updated throughout, the
21st edition of this clear, authoritative text remains fresh and
up-to-date, reflecting the many changes in education that have
occurred since the publication of the previous edition. New
coverage includes: Discussion of “culture wars” and critical
race theory Parental rights versus the goals of common education
LGBTQ+ students’ rights Discussion of current administration’s
educational policies
