5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read, October 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Seduction of Common Sense: How the Right Has Framed the Debate on America's Schools (Teaching for Social Justice) (Paperback)
Kumashiro surveys the "framing" that the Right has done on education and reveals the undermining of public education by those who benefit from privatization of all aspects of American life. Unfortunately, this is to the detriment of the students and ultimately the country. The insidious way that the Right has pushed the issue borders on destroying fundamental American ideals of equal access and opportunity for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart..., December 7, 2008
This review is from: The Seduction of Common Sense: How the Right Has Framed the Debate on America's Schools (Teaching for Social Justice) (Paperback)
Kumashiro's book is a wonderful account of the frames that have been created for the modern educational discourse. That being said, this is not a text for those preservice or inservice students who have not fully considered Apple's concept of "addressing the commonsense" or the political context that is inherent in the classroom. However, this is an appropriate text for those instructors who have spent or will spend a great deal of time on issues of social justice.
