Abstract	With the publication of A Nation at Risk in 1983, a "culture war" against public education in the United States commenced. Education was linked to the nation's economic competitiveness and blamed for declining productivity, and the flag of higher standards and greater accountability was raised. Over the past twenty years both the generals and the casualties of this war on public education have been many. The generals include a long list of the leaders of business and industry and the legislative and executive branch commanders; the casualties include truth, our teachers--and most of all, the students who historically have been placed at risk.
