American System Diversity

Summary

American System Diversity explores the significant variations in educational performance across the United States, despite the notion of a unified national system. The book emphasizes the decentralized nature of US education, where state-level policies and demographic factors play a dominant role in shaping student outcomes. Unlike many countries with centralized control, the US Constitution grants states primary responsibility for education, resulting in diverse funding models, curriculum standards, and teacher training programs. These variations lead to disparities in student achievement, graduation rates, and college enrollment, highlighting the impact of state-specific contexts on student success.

 
The book examines key dimensions of state-level variation, including school funding formulas and teacher quality initiatives, using rigorous statistical analysis to identify policies associated with positive outcomes. It investigates how demographic factors, such as poverty rates and racial segregation, interact with state policies to shape educational inequality and achievement gaps. The comprehensive approach involves a unique database linking state policies with student outcomes over time, providing a nuanced understanding of the causal relationships at play.

 
Organized into three major sections, the book delves into the diverse policy environments across states, examines their relationship to educational performance indicators, and investigates the interplay of demographic factors and state policies. This structure facilitates a deeper understanding of the complexities within the US educational landscape, offering recommendations for promoting greater equity and opportunity in American education.

Lawyer Jailer Ally Foe -...

Eric L. Muller

It is 1942, and World War II is raging. In the months since Pearl Harbor, the US has plunged into the war overseas—and on the home front, it has locked up tens of thousands of innocent Japanese Americans in concentration camps, tearing them from their homes on the West Coast with the ostensible goal of neutralizing a supposed internal threat.

At each of these camps the government places a white lawyer with contradictory instructions: provide legal counsel to the prisoners, and keep the place running. Within that job description are a vast array of tasks, and an enormous amount of discretion they can use for good or for ill. They fight to protect the property the prisoners were forced to leave behind; they help the prisoners with their wills and taxes; and they interrogate them about their loyalties, sometimes driving them to tears. Most of these lawyers think of themselves as trying to do good in a bad system, and yet each ends up harming the prisoners more than helping them, complicit in a system that strips people of their freedoms and sometimes endangers their lives.

In Lawyer, Jailer, Ally, Foe, Eric L. Muller brings to vivid life the stories of three of these men, illuminating a shameful episode of American history through imaginative narrative deeply grounded in archival evidence. As we look through the lawyers’ sometimes-clear and sometimes-clouded eyes, what emerges is a powerful look at the day-by-day, brick-by-brick perpetration of racial injustice—not just by the system itself, but by the men struggling to do good within it.
