Abstract
Educationalizationas rendered in this chapter is a complex, multidimensional institutional and rhetorical text formulation meant to encapsulate a schooling present in the United States of America today. It draws contingently on various exemplars of discursive evidence to set out aspects of school practices. Sources include philosophical and historical writings, government documents, political polemics, studies from the social sciences, cultural studies accounts, and media coverage. As the title suggests it is a present, a philosophical treatment, reminiscent of ‘histories of the present’ currently written by cultural historians of education but distinct.
