An important lesson in the provision of a public good:
“What much fewer
people realize is that the argument over “school of choice” is only the latest
chapter in a decades-long political struggle between two models of freedom—one
based on market choice and the other based on democratic participation.
Neoliberals like DeVos often assume that organizing public spaces like a market
must lead to beneficial outcomes. But in doing so, advocates of school of
choice ignore the political ramifications of the marketization of shared goods
like the educational system.”
