ARGUMENT:  This author, Jean Anyon, argues that education policy cannot be separated from broader social and economic inequality. She explains that schools alone cannot fix issues like poverty or inequity because those problems are rooted in unfair housing, health, and labor systems. Her main point is that meaningful education reform requires addressing the larger structures that shape students’ lives. Anyon’s contribution is expanding how we define “education policy” — urging us to see it as part of a wider social justice agenda rather than just school-based decisions.
