About this Site
"The Underground History of American Education" was written by John Taylor Gatto in 2000.
This annotated web edition was designed and published by Hazard Spence in 2025.
Made with the blessings of Gatto's agent, David James Rodriguez.
Aesthetics and design gleefully pilfered from Read the Sequences.
