Kevin Kumashiro, founding director of the Center for Anti-Oppressive Education, takes on the failures of both the political left and right in The Seduction of Common Sense: How the Right Has Framed the Debate of America's Schools (Teacher's College). Today, he talks about the reframing of 'common sense about education to embrace a commitment to human rights, a belief in equality, and quality education for all children.' "One of the most thoughtful books on education that I have ever read. Kevin Kumashiro condemns fear as a hallmark in our conversations about schools, and promotes instead a spirit of freedom and democracy." - Studs Terkel. "Bold, intellectually ranging, and inspiring challenge to educators, parents, and activists to reframe the debate and reshape the agenda." - Jeff Chang.
