Mike Harris and the "Common Sense" Counterrevolution
From: Class Action
$2.30
In Mike Harris and the “Common Sense” Counterrevolution Hanson explores the distinctly neo-liberal turn education took after the NDP left office in Ontario and the rise of Conservative Mike Harris. The chapter explores topics such as the NDP’s Royal Commission on Learning, working conditions, standardized testing, the Conservatives’ move to repeal the NDP’s legislation on labour protections, employment equity, and those laws that supported affirmative action policies to undermine workers’ rights and weaken their organizations.
