Education

Across four chapters, readers will evaluate the state of education in America, whether school alternatives are a good idea, if religion and religious ideas should be part of public education, and how the education system should be improved. Each chapter provides a sequence of essays that debate these topics and their subtopics. Readers are exposed to many sides of a debate, which promotes issue awareness as well as critical thinking. Essayists include Amanda Ripley, Heather Weaver, Neal McCluskey, Satoshi Kanazawa, the National Education Association, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
