Charter Schools and Their Enemies
Charter Schools and Their Enemies, published by Basic Books, offers a comprehensive analysis of the charter school movement and its opposition. This 264-page book, available in English, provides critical insights into education reform debates with enhanced reading features for accessibility.
A leading conservative intellectual defends charter schools against the teachers’ unions, politicians, and liberal educators who threaten to dismantle their success.

This might be expected to be welcome news. But it has been very unwelcome news in traditional public schools whose students are transferring to charter schools. A backlash against charter schools has been led by teachers unions, politicians and others — not only in New York but across the country. If those attacks succeed, the biggest losers will be minority youngsters for whom a quality education is their biggest chance for a better life.
