Description
The Founders had a lot to say on the importance of education and book learning to the survival of the early republic. The Constitution, however -- a document just as important for what it doesn't say as what it says -- never mentions education or schooling or book learning. As so often is the case with constitutional lacunae, the omission of any mention of education in the Constitution is interpreted as a call for the states to make schooling their domain. And yet the federal government constantly involves itself in education -- from funding (or the withholding of funds) to setting standards under programs such as "No Child Left Behind." To help recognize our national celebration of Constitution Day, we've assembled a panel of Claremont faculty to discuss and sort out the contradictions in federal educational policies and the ways in which The Constitution does or does not inform our national mission of education. Books referenced during the discourse lecture include: Ochoa, Gilda L. "Academic Profiling: Latinos, Asian Americans, and the Achievement Gap." Minneapolis [MN]: University of Minnesota Press, 2013. Stone, Deborah A. "Policy Paradox: The Art Of Political Decision Making." New York : Norton, 2002. Valencia, Richard R. "Chicano Students And The Courts: The Mexican American Legal Struggle For Educational Equality." New York : New York University Press, 2008. Zackin, Emily J. "Looking For Rights In All The Wrong Places: Why State Constitutions Contain America's Positive Rights." Princeton [N.J.] : Princeton University Press, 2013.
