The book explores the alarming resurgence of segregation in education since the 1980s, highlighting the impact of federal court decisions on black children's schooling. It critiques the use of prison-like behavioral control methods in inner-city schools and examines the detrimental effects of high-stakes testing, which has led to a decline in liberal education. The narrative underscores the stark contrast between the educational experiences of marginalized students and those in mainstream schools, emphasizing the need for reform in teaching practices.
