The strength of this work lies in its analysis of the effects of the comprehensive school and other reforms in secondary education on the problem of the inequality of educational opportunity and attainment. The authors discuss the research strategies and findings of the sociologists of education who have collected empirical evidence on this subject. The most informative and thoughtful analysis is presented in the essay by Jan Jonsson, who served on the Governmental Commission on Educational Inequality in Sweden in 1991-93. Although there is no concluding chapter that compares the results of these investigations in the four countries, the evidence points to a rise in the rates of enrollment in the secondary schools over the course of the twentieth century and an increase in the number of persons from all social strata in these schools. The extent to which the inequalities correlated to social origins were substantially reduced is assessed more somberly in the essays on Britain and France than in the contributions for Germany and Sweden. It is probable that in the case of Germany the expectations of the authors were tempered by the consideration of the political and social constraints on the reform and "the difficulty, even impossibility, of achieving many of the goals" to which the reformers aspired (p. 24). Prost states that the proportion of working-class children in the final two years of the lycée did not rise after the mid-1960s and that the enrollment in the classes in the lycée leading to the qualification examination for the university has become "more socially selective." He contends that the creation of the collège, which was supposed to remedy the disparities, has only shifted and stabilized the inequality. "With the passage of time," he concludes, "a reform which sought to be democratic and progressive is revealing itself as antiegalitarian and conservative" (p. 62).

These charges have been made regardless of the actual content of various programs and curricula. Nevertheless, the typically incendiary charges seem an effective political tool in derailing and/or reshaping educational reform and program offerings. Drawing upon the methodologies of social historiography and historical policy analysis, this author examines the use of strategic homophobia by the Religious Right in their quest to "take back America,"concluding with a general discussion of homophobia, paranoid politics, and implications for educational policy makers and public school personnel.

This involvement has been greatly influenced by a theological justification of political activism, Christian Reconstructionism. Subsequently, much of the activity by the Christian Right involving public education tends to fall into two categories: re-Christianization and deinstitutionalization. This article presents a historical overview of these developments, provides an analytic framework to assess criticisms and activity by the Christian Right, and offers responses to this form of politicized theology.

Regardless of the intent of a policy’s authors, how street-level bureaucrats (career civil servants like public educators) define a policy through their implementation becomes the actual meaning of the policy. Given the shifting political winds regarding LGBTQ identity and educational policy, teasing out whose understandings of a given policy are actually implemented is critical for the well-being of LGBT students attending US public schools. Educators, as street-level bureaucrats, have the potential to find spaces within these broader political and policy changes to better serve as supports for LGBT students. Finally, in the United States and other locales, economic decline can amplify political discontent, including conflicts over the course and scope of educational policies.

To be effective, leaders need to be sensitive to the contexts and dynamics outside the schoolhouse walls as well as to those they see on a daily basis. Some local educational leaders face staffing shortages, while others face a problematic school board. Some may be coping with severe budgetary constraints, while more fortunate leaders have enjoyed years of fiscal stability. Any given feature can interact with other aspects of the educational landscape. For example, a school leader may need to scale a craggy and formidable mountain of state accountability measures, while beneath this mountain might lie the shifting fault lines of a volatile, and perhaps volcanic, national economy. Nevertheless, for all of this contextual dynamism, there are some emerging patterns and features that contemporary educational leaders

We approach this from different disciplinary backgrounds, identities, and ways of writing terms related to gender identity. We begin with an examination of the current legal climate in the USA and explore how students have pushed back against gender and sexuality norms even in a restrictive climate. Some transformations are already happening in public schools and some backlash, too, is being felt. Laws and policies in some locations are encouraging students, teachers, school leaders and community members to collaborate in making schools more educationally concerned about trans student success and teaching the school community about gender diversity. In shifting among scales and experiences of youth thinking and working on gender, we aim to emphasise youth agency and outline young people's frustrations at the obstacles related to trans, gender dissidence and sexuality. In conclusion, we point to changes that can be made in schools to help professionals understand how policy and curricular innovation can bolster the openings that trans, gender creative and gender non-binary youth are already creating, whether or not those opportunities are officially recognised.
