Schoolhouse Burning is a fierce, meticulously argued defense of public education as a constitutional promise — not a luxury. Black traces how the right to a free, inclusive education has been central to every democratic leap in American history, from Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement, and how today’s attacks on public schools threaten that legacy. It’s a legal, historical, and moral alarm bell: if we let public education erode, we erode democracy itself.
