The Political Dynamics of School Choice: Negotiating by L. Fusarelli

By L. Fusarelli

Lance D. Fusarelli examines the connection among the constitution tuition and voucher concerns: To what measure does political help for constitution faculties - from a coalition of instructor institutions, college board teams, superintendents, and voucher advocates - sluggish or perhaps cease the forces for vouchers? Or, do those coalitions, which effectively driven constitution tuition laws in the course of the legislature, really gas the fires of privatization? constitution faculties laws has loved bipartisan aid accurately as the risk of vouchers is so nice. And, opposite to the method of voucher competitors, the unfold of constitution institution raises, instead of alleviates, the rush for vouchers.

46 Given the nonobjectivity of language, "virtually every word and phrase used in casual speech and thought bears a heavy connotative burden which 24 THE POLITICAL DYNAMICS OF SCHOOL CHOICE opens the way to socially approved conclusions and inhibits the recognition of possibilities that are not culturally condoned. " 47 Language, particularly metaphors and analogies, is used "to control people's evaluations of policy alternatives. 51 How is this favored result achieved? " 52 This bias manifests itself in the "exploitation of some kinds of conflict and the suppression of others.

No state has a dominant moralistic political culture with strong traditionalistic undertones. The existence of powerful, subordinate subcultures competing with the dominant political culture in a state produces interesting political conflicts over the nature, scope, and direction of policy initiatives. POLITICAL CULTURE AND STATE EDUCATION POLICY Cultural and historical forces help shape the context within which education policymaking occurs. " 13 Together with institutions, culture shapes the nature and direction of policy change.

Choice proponents invoked the cultural referents of freedom, individualism, liberty, and equal educational opportunity, cleverly linking these referents to the language game of the market. The widened scope of the conflict within this game privileged charter school proposals over voucher plans. Like the language game of the market, charter schools proposals were viewed as "safe choice," successfully packaged as offering the benefits of choice while ensuring equal educational opportunity. While not denying the appeal of educational choice, opponents of voucher plans played upon the policy elite's fear of unregulated, unrestrained market forces and framed voucher plans as creating more educational inequity for children, effectively countering the equal educational opportunity arguments made by voucher proponents.
