DESCRIPTION:<p class="NoParagraphStyle" style="text-align:justify">Today, education is poised to become a private commodity rather than a universal good, and the very existence of the traditional public school is threatened, according to Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Cara Fitzpatrick. In her book <em>The Death of Public School: How Conservatives Won the War Over Education in America</em>, Fitzpatrick explores the long journey of school choice – from its evolution as a segregationist tool in the South in the 1950s, to a policy embraced by advocates for educational equity in the North, to a conservative strategy for securing government funds for private schools in the twenty-first century.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A book signing will follow the talk, with books available for purchase from Carmichael’s Bookstore.</p>

<p>Registration is requested for this free event.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lfpl.org/lifelong-learning#148">Click here to reserve your seat</a>.</p>
