From schools advertising McDonald s, Nike, and Shell oil to
military generals appointed as superintendents; from corporate CEOs
hailed as education experts to students suspended for wearing Pepsi
tee shirts on Coke day; Collateral Damage sifts through a wide
range of incidents to reveal how the rising corporatization of
public schools needs to be understood as a part of a broader attack
on the public sector. Uniquely, Collateral Damage considers the
privatization of public education in relation to both globalization
and local struggles over curriculum, schools, and culture. Saltman
describes the dangers to democracy posed by educational policy
debates increasingly framed by the language and logic of the
market. He reveals how the language of school choice, competition,
monopoly, and accountability shifts the grounds of debate to
naturalize education along business models rather than for the
public good. The commercialization and militarization of public
schools, and media images of out of control teachers reveal how
political and economic struggles over privatization involve
culture, citizenship, nation, identity, and even bodies.
