""The Ghost of the Bell Curve reveals how ableism shapes American education as an enduring architecture of inequality. Cruz and Firestone move beyond critique, offering a powerful vision to transform systems of sorting and exclusion and reimagine schools as sites of equity, dignity, and collective flourishing."" - Aydin Bal ""America's 98,000 schools are built on hidden assumptions — about who can learn, how teachers teach, and what education is for. Ableism and racism deepen intersecting inequities that these assumptions create. Cruz and Firestone don't admire the sedimentation — they unmantle it through a rigorous, evidence-driven agenda. This is the book to read."" - Elizabeth B. Kozleski ""Drs. Cruz and Firestone brilliantly parse our educational architecture. In very accessible ways, they guide readers to understand the root of the problem and offer innovative and practical solutions to ensure authentic belonging. From from youth in schools to educators to academics, this book is a must-read!"" - Paulo Tan
