Improved STEM literacy. Greater achievement for inner-city children. Happiness for all children. So why are liberals spending billions of dollars working <em>against<\/em> those goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In <em>Race to the Bottom<\/em>, Luke Rosiak uncovers the shocking reason why American education is failing: Powerful special interest groups are using our kids as guinea pigs in vast ideological experiments. These groups&#8217; initiatives aren&#8217;t focused on making children smarter&#8211;but on implementing a radical agenda, no matter the effect on academic standards. <\/p>\n<p>Nonprofits pump billions into initiatives meant to redress racial inequities. Rather than fixing the problem, districts with a big gap between white and black test scores hire consultants who claim the tests are meaningless because they are &quot;racist.&quot; These consultants&#8217; judgments allow school districts to ignore their own failures&#8211;ultimately hurting minority students and perpetuating racism.<\/p>\n<p>That is just one example. Drawing on his years in investigative journalism, Rosiak did a deep dive into school files, financial records, and parents&#8217; stories. What he found is that nonprofit influence has crept into the educational bureaucracy all over America. Corrupt school boards and quack diversity consultants abound. Teachers drawing government pay claim it&#8217;s unsafe to return to in-person school, but &quot;double dip&quot; teaching in-person private classes. And amid all this focus on money and equity, academic standards are crumbling, which hurts American kids in ways we&#8217;ll be suffering for decades.<\/p>\n<p><em>Race to the Bottom<\/em> is the first comprehensive expos&eacute; of the way radical ideology and self-serving administrators are destroying academic quality in America&#8217;s K-12 schools. Rigorous and deeply-researched, this is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of our kids.<\/p>\n<p>Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education (Other)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&quot;The first comprehensive expos&acirc;e of the way radical ideology and self-serving administrators are destroying academic quality in America&#8217;s K-12 schools&quot;&#8211; Everyone wants: High schoolers to graduate well-prepared for jobs.
