“School Inc.,” a three-part documentary series about how we deliver education and what might work better, will be airing Monday night on PBS stations around the country. At least for one public schooling supporter, this is outrageous. But is PBS showing something that may be critical of public schooling—that may even offer what some consider a better educational way—really so awful?

Asserting in a blog post last week that airing School Inc., “must be public television’s effort to curry favor with the Trump administration,” historian and public schooling champion Diane Ravitch expressed great displeasure with PBS stations for their plans to show a documentary by “libertarians who want to destroy public institutions.” She continued, “It is ironic and sad that public television would lend credibility to an attack on public education.”
