Ron Miller is President of the Foundation for Educational Renewal and the editor of Educational Freedom for a Democratic Society: A Critique of National Standards, Goals and Curriculum.
"Ron Miller's book is much more than a cultural history of the ephemeral free school movement. Free Schools, Free People is about the ongoing struggle for the freedom to teach and learn; the clash between technocratic systems of education that rely on bureaucratic and disciplinary authority to achieve standardization and efficiency and those people in pursuit of humane, wholistic, and non-authoritarian approaches to education." - E. Wayne Ross, editor of The Social Studies Curriculum, Revised Edition: Purposes, Problems, and Possibilites
