Summary:
"A Curriculum of Fear examines Milton High School’s specialized Homeland Security program--what it means to students and staff and what it says about the militarization of public schools. The first ethnography of such a program, it provides a close encounter with the new normal imposed by the global war on terror--a school under siege, actively preparing for the siege itself." -- Publisher's description
