Resumen del Editor

Everyone wants: High schoolers to graduate well-prepared for jobs. Improved STEM literacy. Greater achievement for inner-city children. Happiness for all children. So why are liberals spending billions of dollars working against those goals?

In Race to the Bottom, Luke Rosiak uncovers the shocking reason why American education is failing: Powerful special interest groups are using our kids as guinea pigs in vast ideological experiments. These groups’ initiatives aren’t focused on making children smarter—but on implementing a radical agenda, no matter the effect on academic standards.

Nonprofits pump billions into initiatives meant to redress racial inequities. Rather than fixing the problem, districts with a big gap between white and black test scores hire consultants who claim the tests are meaningless because they are “racist.” These consultants’ judgments allow school districts to ignore their own failures—ultimately hurting minority students and perpetuating racism.

That is just one example. Drawing on his years in investigative journalism, Rosiak did a deep dive into school files, financial records, and parents’ stories. What he found is that nonprofit influence has crept into the educational bureaucracy all over America. Corrupt school boards and quack diversity consultants abound. Teachers drawing government pay claim it’s unsafe to return to in-person school, but “double dip” teaching in-person private classes. And amid all this focus on money and equity, academic standards are crumbling, which hurts American kids in ways we’ll be suffering for decades.

Race to the Bottom is the first comprehensive exposé of the way radical ideology and self-serving administrators are destroying academic quality in America’s K-12 schools. Rigorous and deeply-researched, this is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of our kids.

Public education is the new road to serfdom!

Eye opening account of the public education system that will destroy the country.The current equity agenda is a destructive path promoting false claims of racism and hate. Those who cannot do teach! Thus leaving our children in the hands of socialist incompetents!

Truth is hard to hear for some

There is a review here that calls this book propaganda and then says “FU Republican party” and that is exactly why our kids are failing because idiots like that are so ignorant that not even the truth can permeate their thick woke illiterate skull. I wouldn’t be surprised if that reviewer is a teacher or school administrator because thats exactly the type of person teaching your kids angry, woke, ignorant and liberal , Not all just 98% and thats why johnny cant read, write, spell or do simple algebra.

I would suggest this book to everyone.

Saying that this book should be a required read for all high school and college students is a massive understatement.

a must read


Local politics matter, they are the bedrock of world politics. The scariest book I've read to date.

Just the facts

This book certainly presented some interesting facts. However, the presentation of the facts wasn’t exactly exciting.

A Must Read

A must read for parents who have their children in a school system that has been in decay for years. As a parent who has seen this "race to the bottom", I am glad it is finally getting the attention it deserve. Our children are our future. Our most precious resource.
