Short Route to Chaos develops a series of specific suggestions for reform based on the principle that education, like religion, is a matter of conscience in which families should be free to select their childrens schools and public funding should be allocated equally for each child, regardless of wealth or geographic location. The author goes on to propose public debate about a possible education amendment to the U.S. Constitution. His book is an impassioned call for a pragmatic and populist re-constitution of American schooling - one that respects conscience, supports community, and reinvigorates the principles of constitutional democracy.

Acknowledgments
The intellectual and personal debts I owe in connection with writing this book are beyond repayment. But I must at least attempt to acknowledge some of them.
First and foremost, I am grateful to Ada Luz Medina, without whose patient support, encouragement, insight, and inspiration of the spirit, this book would have been neither started nor completed. And to my very good friends and most honest criticsCharles Lawrence III, Walt Senterfitt, Bob Seidmanmy endless gratitude and immediate release from any responsibility for the flaws in this work. I owe a great deal also to Steve Sugarman, Tyll van Geel, Perry Amsellem, Gary Lamb, Rosemary Salamone, Sonia Nieto, Charles Hamilton, Leonard Liggio, Sara Lawrence, Milton Cantor, and Charles Tsarnas, who helped more than even he could know. And Ben, you saved me at the finish line.
