Book Reccomendation

I read a lot of blogs. I see a lot of "discussions." Recently I have seen many about education and liberals taking over colleges. Mostly students, these kids don't seem to know that their argument started during Reagan's administration with Alan Bloom. In my opinion regardless of their position on the subject none of the people having these discussion touch the real crisis in education. They don't understand that the real problem in our education system has nothing to do with partisan politics and goes much deeper. Benjamin Barber, a political science professor, wrote a great book An Aristocracy of Everyone about the real education crisis. He objectivly critiques the debate about PC and multiculturalism from both sides and gives his own philosophy on what education in a democracy should really be about. I give it a huge recommendation and would argue it is the most important book written in the past few decades regarding the American education system.
