Victory at Home: The Educational Front is a continuation of the concepts in Disruption. The title of the series – an ironic appropriation of the World War II phrase “victory at home”- critiques how educational policy often plays out to a backdrop of culture wars and jingoistic language. While Disruption focused on school disciplinary policy, Victory at Home endorses actions for a more just and equitable educational system, such as disrupting the school to prison pipeline (Fill Schools, Not Prisons and Education Over Incarceration), stopping censorship of books in schools (Come and Take It and Don’t Tread on Me), exposing how the history of redlining impacts present issues in school inequality (The Thin Red Line), and issuing a warning about ideologically based curriculum (Erase History).
