Education on Trial chronicles the clash between public education and constitutional rights that has raged in America since colonial times. From funding and consideration of race in admissions to reverse discrimination, this substantial study of the key Supreme Court cases that have shaped education explores such ongoing struggles as who should be educated, who should pay, and the rights of students.



Through analyses of more than 30 key cases like Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, which upheld the use of vouchers, and Santa Fe Independent School District v.
