Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

The Culture Wars in Public Schools

For over a decade, the religious right has been waging a grassroots battle over the hearts and minds of school children. The struggle, which at first focused around curricula, has widened over the past few years to include a debate over how, and even if, education would be funded publicly. Barbara Bernstein will take us to the front lines of the culture wars in the classroom. Her series is called “Carefully Taught: Clashing Values in the Classroom.”
