The Goslings: A Study of the American Schools

An incisive tour of America’s public‑school machine, this work pulls back the curtain on a system many assume is purely educational. Drawing on a lively public debate and the author’s long‑standing critique of corporate influence, the narrative shows how a hidden “gang” of business interests has come to steer curricula, administration, and even the everyday experience of the nation’s twenty‑three million schoolchildren. The opening chapters trace the rise of this power, from early‑day school clubs to the subtle ways money shapes policy, all presented with the author’s characteristic wit and clear-eyed analysis.

Listeners will find a blend of vivid anecdotes, courtroom‑like examinations, and thoughtful commentary that challenges the notion that schools exist solely for the benefit of students. By exposing the connections between politics, industry, and education, the book invites you to reconsider what the schoolhouse truly represents for the future of the country—and what it means for every child who walks through its doors.
