Individuals from Vastly Different Political Perspectives Agree That There Is a Crisis in Education

Education is the foundation of every nation's success or failure; it produces upstanding citizens, lifts people out of poverty, and catalyses change. Crisis in the Classroom is full of captivating, insightful essays by renowned Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump; neurosurgeon and former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson; and serial entrepreneur and media personality, Armstrong Williams. These essays expose the harsh realities of the current state of education in the United States and its repercussions on underserved and marginalised communities.

Crisis in the Classroom presents the unvarnished realities of poor educational outcomes, a topic that is frequently missing from the headlines, and how these have led communities and generations of future leaders to descend into poverty and devastation.

Crisis in the Classroom demonstrates that when the education of our children is jeopardised, so too are our families, communities, and nation.

Despite the grim realities depicted in Crisis in the Classroom, the authors show us that faith and unity, paired with an apolitical, solution-based approach to the education crisis, can provide hope for a brighter future.
