THE CONSPIRACY OF THE GOOD - MICHAEL JAMES E KA...

The Conspiracy of the Good addresses nagging questions that are part of the public debate over
schooling. Why do our public schools  especially those in poor and working-class communities of
color  fail to live up to the promises of the American dream? Why do reforms  those standard
items in political campaigns  fail to create meaningful change? This book argues that
«progressive»  well-meaning  good-hearted men and women  who often advocate «good intentions»
in the name of «helping those in need»  have ended up doing more harm than good. The Conspiracy
of the Good explores how these «good intentions» go awry. Michael E. James argues that the core
value of the American experience is conflict - not consensus - despite what mainstream
historians have espoused over the last few decades.
