The Neoliberal Value Shift and its Implications for Federal Education Policy Under Clinton

Frances C. Fowler

With Clinton's election to the presidency, the neoliberal wing of the Democratic party came to power. This change has important implications for education policy. This study, based on a content analysis of neoliberal political communication, concludes that the policy values most emphasized by neoliberals are economic growth and community. Equity, with a focus on class issues, is also an important neoliberal value. An analysis of the Clinton administration's education policy in 1993 and early 1994 suggests that it generally reflects these neoliberal values. This represents a shift away from both the recent conservative emphasis on efficiency and liberty and the earlier emphasis on equality which characterized the liberalism of the 1960s and early 1970s.
