What explains the explosive growth of school vouchers in the last
two decades? In America's Voucher Politics, Ursula Hackett shows
that the voucher movement is rooted in America's foundational
struggles over religion, race, and the role of government versus
the private sector. Drawing upon original datasets, archival
materials, and more than one hundred interviews, Hackett shows that
policymakers and political advocates use strategic policy design
and rhetoric to hide the role of the state when their policy goals
become legally controversial. For over sixty years of voucher
litigation, white supremacists, accommodationists, and
individualists have deployed this strategy of attenuated governance
in court. By learning from previous mistakes and anticipating
downstream effects, policymakers can avoid painful defeats, gain a
secure legal footing, and entrench their policy commitments despite
the surging power of rivals. An ideal case study, education policy
reflects multiple axes of conflict in American politics and
demonstrates how policy learning unfolds over time.
