Herron & deMarrais 
Conservative Philanthropies and Organizations Shaping U.S. Educational Policy and Practice [PDF ebook] 

поддержка

American public education has been under assault for the last few decades as a "broken" system that needs a complete overhaul. In large part, these opinions are offered by people and organizations who know little about schools. But who are these influencers? This book is about conservative philanthropies, the organizations and individuals within their networks, and the strategies they use to shape educational policy and practice in K-12 and higher education. Each chapter examines a philanthropy, philanthropic network, or corporation focused on pushing an agenda of individualism, privatization, and conservative ideologies. Based in extensive research, including the tax filings of specific philanthropic foundations, the authors demonstrate how the philanthropic elite work within federal, state, and local governmental contextsto influence policy and practice. Within a global context of increasing wealthinequality, the authors question the motivations of these privileged few towithhold tax dollars from the US treasury where duly elected representativescan determine how tax dollars are used to benefit society. By allowing thesephilanthropic organizations tax exemptions under the guise of assumed benevolence, are citizens giving up their ability to hold these organizations accountable for how the money is spent? This book, aimed at a general audience of educators, provides the in-depth knowledge necessary to understand and resist private control of public policies and institutions.
