Fractured Schoolhouse - Reexamining Education for a Free, Equal, and Harmonious Society

American public schooling was intended to shape and unify democratic citizens, but by its nature it forces divisive conflict. And democracy is not the goal of American government; liberty is. The Fractured Schoolhouse posits that freedom in education is not only consistent with liberty but is better suited to produce unity than public schooling.
