1. Whose America?
Culture Wars in the Public Schools
A concise history of the intense debates over public-school curriculum and textbooks in the United States, tracing local and national battles over history, civics, patriotism, and multiculturalism. It examines how disputes on school boards and in classrooms over what children should be taught reflect broader political and cultural conflicts about national identity and citizenship, showing that struggles over education are central to larger culture wars and have lasting consequences for civic life.
