They’re (still) alive: Classroom controversies & zombie narratives
Like Twinkies and cockroaches, zombie ideologies seem to defy the laws of expiration dates, let alone logic, compassion and community. And unfortunately, public education is rife with them.
Contributors to this issue of Our Schools / Our Selves address how zombie arguments are resurfacing in their classrooms and communities across the country, the deleterious effect of these ideologies – and the narratives that underpin them. With public schools, the kids and communities they serve, and the staff who work in them increasingly under attack, we need to be keenly aware of how zombie arguments are being mobilized…and how to fight back.
