2 complementary views on the failures of U.S. public education from 2 strange-bedfellow educational reformers--the proletarian Libertarian, J.T. Gatto (= part 3 of his talk); and the patrician Left-Liberal, Jonathan Kozol. Both are experienced, insightful, & fine speakers. Surprisingly, they agree on about 94% of issues--though not on the best solution. Radically reform the system (Kozol) or instead nuke it (Gatto)?
Gatto talk excerpted from a recording on www.johntaylorgatto.com. Excerpts from Kozol talk in Portland, OR (late 2005). Thanks to Alternative Radio for making a recording of the complete talk available.
