Against Mediocrity starts from, and argues vigorously for, the belief that the education of every American child must be founded on the humanistic disciplines. In sixteen essays, leading scholars, educators, and school policymakers eloquently assess the current condition of the humanities in the secondary schools, analyze how this state of affairs developed and what the humanities ought to be accomplishing, not only for individual students, but for society as a whole.
