The book critically examines the influence of egalitarian ideology on educational policy in Britain and the USA, highlighting the inherent conflict between this ideology and the pursuit of educational excellence. David E Cooper identifies key principles obscured by confusion and argues for the preservation of educational quality over the use of education as a means to achieve social equality. He specifically critiques concepts like 'equal opportunities', 'social mix', and 'reverse discrimination', revealing the complexities and contradictions involved.
