Ashley Rogers Berner on The Lost Decade

The Lost Decade brings the saga of American education’s resistance to the academic curriculum, chronicled so well by Diane Ravitch and E.D. Hirsch, into the 21st century. While Wilson’s brisk rebuke of the Antiracist and therapeutic turn in education will please some readers and outrage others, his insistence that academic rigor and joyful challenge remain at the heart of the classroom should inspire all of us.”
