The controversies-over matters like school funding, vouchers, bilingual education, high-stakes testing, desegrega-tion, and creationism-seem, at first glance, to be separate problems. In im-portant ways, however, they all reflect contention over the goals of the American dream.
I actually did not think of this before. I would have seen it all as a separate issues, without the author pointing. it out like that. I think it's interesting that this all goes back to the goal of the American dream. It's all comes down to whats best for the individual and the whole. It makes sense to me without a lot of explanation just because all the things listed are about what gonna be best for the people in a way and another part is money. The part of this that is more about the people flows into he concept of success and the American dream.
