Liberal Hegemony - School Vouchers And The Future Of The Race, Harry G. Hutchison
Liberal Hegemony - School Vouchers And The Future Of The Race, Harry G. Hutchison
Missouri Law Review
This Article examines the school voucher debate. Because “the causes of poverty within the black community are both structural and behavioral,” and because the available evidence provides an inferential connection between education and poverty, I contend that the reigning legal and political theory as embedded in, and as explicated by the constitutional jurisprudence of the Zelman dissenters, and as exemplified by other commentators, fails to address adequately racial disparity and neglects to consider adequately the victims of the current public school hegemony. Hence, the legitimacy of much of the current opposition to school vouchers remains indefensible form an outsider perspective.
