A digger digs trenches for new pipes in First Avenue. When the digging is over, the children explore the mounds of earth and holes. They look for buried treasure. After finding several worthless items like fish bones and an old wrench, they find an old broken plate with a gold edge. They are convinced that it is valuable, so they each decide to take a piece home. Lindi''s dad is horrified when he sees the treasure. He confesses that he buried the plate in the field after he broke it, because he was too scared to tell his wife. Lindi''s mom arrives home, but they quickly hide the evidence from her.

America's Voucher Politics - Ursula Hackett - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

What explains the explosive growth of school vouchers in the last two decades? In America''s Voucher Politics, Ursula Hackett shows that the voucher movement is rooted in America''s foundational struggles over religion, race, and the role of government versus the private sector. Drawing upon original datasets, archival materials, and more than one hundred interviews, Hackett shows that policymakers and political advocates use strategic policy design and rhetoric to hide the role of the state when their policy goals become legally controversial. For over sixty years of voucher litigation, white supremacists, accommodationists, and individualists have deployed this strategy of attenuated governance in court. By learning from previous mistakes and anticipating downstream effects, policymakers can avoid painful defeats, gain a secure legal footing, and entrench their policy commitments despite the surging power of rivals. An ideal case study, education policy reflects multiple axes of conflict in American politics and demonstrates how policy learning unfolds over time.

On the Offensive - Karen (griffith University Stollznow - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

I''m not a racist, but… You look good, for your age… She was asking for it… You''re crazy… That''s so gay… Have you ever wondered why certain language has the power to offend? It is often difficult to recognize the veiled racism, sexism, ageism (and other –isms) that hide in our everyday discourse. This book sheds light on the derogatory phrases, insults, slurs, stereotypes, tropes and more that make up linguistic discrimination. Each chapter addresses a different area of prejudice: race and ethnicity; gender identity; sexuality; religion; health and disability; physical appearance; and age. Drawing on hot button topics and real-life case studies, and delving into the history of offensive terms, a vivid picture of modern discrimination in language emerges. By identifying offensive language, both overt and hidden, past and present, we uncover vast amounts about our own attitudes, beliefs and values and reveal exactly how and why words can offend.
