"The Manufactured Crisis"

"The Manufactured Crisis" is a term used to describe the idea that certain political or educational issues, such as concerns about public schools and students’ academic performance, are exaggerated or created intentionally to justify specific policy changes. Critics argue that claims of a crisis are often overstated or based on selective data, serving political agendas rather than reflecting the true state of education. The concept suggests that the so-called crisis is not an inherent problem but a result of deliberate messaging designed to influence public opinion and policy decisions.
