Educational policy controversies in the United States invariably
implicate legal issues. Policy debates about testing and school
choice, for example, cannot be disentangled from legal rights and
mandates. The same is true for issues such as funding, campus
safety, speech and religion rights, as well as the teaching of
immigrant students. Written for a general audience, this new
twelve-chapter book explores these compelling educational policy
issues through that legal lens, building an understanding of both
law and policy. The book's editors are Kevin Welner, associate
professor of educational policy at the University of Colorado at
Boulder, and Wendy Chi, a doctoral candidate at Boulder. Both
Welner and Chi are lawyers as well as educational scholars.
