In this dynamic book, Kevin Kumashiro offers a necessary
intervention to help progressive educators and advocates take back
public education. This book highlights how the broader Left
(progressives, liberals, Democrats, teacher unions, civil rights
organizations) are often talking about the “problem” in ways
that were framed by forces quite counter to the goals of democracy
and justice, and in so doing, advancing “solutions” that cannot
help but be counterproductive. Kumashiro explains when, why, and
how this has happened, particularly regarding the insidious nature
of popular “reforms.” He also dives into some of the biggest
battles in education today, such as affirmative action, free speech
and hate speech, bullying and violence, teacher shortages, and
student debt. Surrendered offers a different path forward for
K–12 and higher education by showing readers how to establish a
progressive agenda, employ language, and harness evidence more
effectively. Book Features: Illuminates the power of framing and
the role that language and commonsense play in shaping public
opinion and educational policy. Provides an historical overview of
the conservative forces that have shaped public education in the
United States. Examines many of the biggest battles in education
today, particularly the enduring conservative framings of these
issues. Offers progressive re-framings and concrete suggestions for
movement building. Uses accessible language, framed with personal
stories, to connect history with current debates.
