Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. This work makes a richly humanitarian case for parental school choice, seeking to advance social justice and respect the dignity of parents--especially those on the margins. For decades, arguments in favor of school choice have largely been advanced on the basis of utility or outcome rather than social justice and human dignity. The Case for Parental Choice: God, Family, and Educational Liberty offers a compelling and humanitarian alternative. This volume contains an edited collection of essays by John E. Coons, a visionary legal scholar and ardent supporter of what is perhaps best described as a social justice case for parental school choice. Few have written more prodigiously or prophetically about the need to give parents--particularly poor parents--power over their children's schooling. Coons has been an advocate of school choice for over sixty years, and indeed remains one of the most articulate proponents of a case for school choice that promotes both low-income parents and civic engagement, as opposed to mere efficiency or achievement. His is a distinctively Catholic voice that brings powerful normative arguments to debates that far too often get bogged down in disputes about cost savings and test scores. The essays collected herein treat a wide variety of topics, including the relationship between school choice and individual autonomy; the implications of American educational policy for social justice, equality, and community; the impact of public schooling on low-income families; and the religious implications of school choice. Together, these pieces make for a wide-ranging and morally compelling case for parental choice in children's schooling.…

Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. (Nightstand Book NB 1590). Hard-boiled, erotic novel. Gigolo themes. Cover attractive. Spine sunned. Cover copy: LOVE FOR HIRE was what Rina Melton was buying. She was beautiful, fabulously rich and emotionally aroused - 24 hours a day. No one man could satisfy the fiery demands of her silken body, the unnatural hungers of her always-open lips, the fierce bite of her insatiable passions. So Rina started a stable of studs-men who would live in New York, and be available for her sinful pleasures. In pairs or singly, trios or small groups, she would call them, demand their attentions, and get what she needed-for a thousand dollars a month. And the head stud in her evil stable was Joe Traynor, a down and out bum whose wife had been a tramp and whose life had turned into hell. Until Rina came along, offering him money, security, and the honor of occasionally servicing THE QUEEN OF SIN! First paragraph(s): IT TOOK THE SUN UNTIL ELEVEN in the morning to sneak in through the hole in the windowshade and hit me in the eyes. When that happened, my eyes opened. That was a mistake. A hangover's not so bad when you're asleep, because then you don't know about it. I was awake now. I knew about it, and it was no bargain. Paperback Original. Size: 4.25" x 6.4". 188 pages.
