In recent months, protests at US colleges and universities—replete with sit-ins, anti-war slogans, tent villages, and arrests of students—have inspired comparisons with 1960s-era activism.Footnote 1 During that convulsive period, students responded to the Vietnam War by turning their campuses into sites for civil disobedience and forums for free speech.

The history of education, as a field, has never been more necessary. In a time of contestation and upheaval, it is more essential than ever to understand the past. At the same time, the field is shrinking in some parts of the world—both in its institutional footprint and in its membership. Signs suggest that other interests and priorities are displacing projects, programs, and places of employment for historians of education. What, then, does this mean for the future?

Educators have long overheard students give each other advice about sex. It’s part of the background chatter that happens before class starts, in the hallway between classes, or during lunch in the cafeteria. “Don’t worry,” one student was overheard saying in Charlotte, North Carolina.

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the San Antonio v. Rodriguez case, viewed by some as the worst decision in the US Supreme Court’s modern history. As legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky observed, the court essentially declared that “discrimination against the poor does not violate the Constitution and that education is not a fundamental right.”1 Five decades later, how does this case from the past continue to exert its influence on the present?
