Privatization and Neo-Liberalism: Ideology and Evidence in Rhetorical Reforms	1998	8	.pdf	application/pdf	3794	175	51	Let me begin by supporting much of Apple's overall argument: that underlying all educational debates are competing visions of legitimate knowledge, (p. 16) supported by very unequal power; that the current emphasis on the free market and privatization is based on an eloquent fiction (p. 2) that has been assembled in new ways by an alliance of neo-liberal and neo-conservative forces; and that the upshot has been narrow and ideologically-based analyses of efficiency in education over broader views of what education does and what its role should be in achieving social justice. It is not that Apple's paper should have tackled all these issues, but their neglect would be more understandable if their absence had been recognized instead of characterizing the English experience as the most advanced (p. 4) or as representative of reform in other nations (p. 9, 12).	cache/cice-11309.pdf	txt/cice-11309.txt
