About the Author
Diane Ravitch is a renowned historian of education, policy analyst, and fierce advocate for public schooling in America. A former Assistant Secretary of Education under President George H.W. Bush, she played a key role in shaping national education standards before becoming a vocal critic of corporate-driven reforms and privatization efforts that she views as threats to equitable public education. With decades of experience as a professor at New York University and a prolific writer, Ravitch draws on her deep knowledge of educational history to challenge myths and expose the flaws in high-stakes testing and market-based approaches. Her work inspires educators, parents, and policymakers to defend the vital role of well-funded public schools in fostering democracy and opportunity for all children.
