Some insulted the former secretary, some criticized his timing and judgment, and others offered sarcastic advice. They criticized him for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indy100.com\/news\/arne-duncan-anti-maskers-suicide-bombers-b1911197\">politicizing a tragic event<\/a>. But Duncan\u2019s use of a war metaphor to make a point is, in this instance, notable for reasons that go beyond the fact that it drew a sharp rebuke.<\/p>\n<p>As a scholar who studies the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=kNcjUhMAAAAJ&amp;view_op=list_works&amp;gmla=AJsN-F7AqVzce-aDpQlJP6rZsXUeweaMsV9-zcHkuguyexc1fizNhBfKH8wvhbzMxXVrhAog6S9dkQmWUPSg1SQDHNi6Tq7lRaP--Iisy4TmN1yPCXuCHio\">rhetoric of education policy<\/a>, I know that war analogies are a long-standing and common feature of public discourse about U.S. education.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Prominent references to war<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For instance, in 1955,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/ct-xpm-1986-10-08-8603150929-story.html\">author Rudolf Flesch<\/a>\u00a0began his bestseller, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcat.org\/title\/why-johnny-cant-read-and-what-you-can-do-about-it\/oclc\/930703611&amp;referer=brief_results\">Why Johnny Can\u2019t Read<\/a>,\u201d by declaring that \u201cjust as war is \u2018too serious a matter to be left to the generals,\u2019 so, I think, the teaching of reading is too important to be left to the educators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a influential 1983 federal report, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/pubs\/NatAtRisk\/risk.html\">A Nation at Risk<\/a>,\u201d stated that if \u201can unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In both cases, the authors used war analogies to emphasize the urgency of education reform.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond these prominent examples, the everyday language of education is rife with war metaphors. Classroom teachers work on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/vc.bridgew.edu\/marc_pubs\/5\/\">front lines<\/a>\u201d of various aspects of education. School officials frequently find themselves \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/health-san-francisco-education-coronavirus-school-boards-3f8876aef45942966ee36f49cc627f0a\">embattled<\/a>.\u201d Teachers unions \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.courthousenews.com\/teachers-union-superintendent-go-to-war\/\">go to war<\/a>\u201d with school district superintendents. Even public education itself is said to be \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.upenn.edu\/pennpress\/book\/15120.html\">under siege<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks on the reopening of the nation\u2019s schools this fall, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona stressed the importance of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/news\/speeches\/secretary-cardonas-remarks-return-school-roadmap\">winning the fight against the pandemic<\/a>.\u201d In these cases, comparing some aspect of education to an aspect of war aids with clarity and meaning.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Quest for dominance<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The modern federal role in education is itself an extension of a different kind of war. When the Soviet Union launched\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nasa.gov\/sputnik.html\">Sputnik<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the first artificial satellite \u2013 into space in 1957, it triggered the so-called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/stars.library.ucf.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&amp;httpsredir=1&amp;article=1578&amp;context=etd\">Sputnik Crisis<\/a>,\u201d or a panic that America\u2019s education system was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/artandhistory\/history\/minute\/Sputnik_Spurs_Passage_of_National_Defense_Education_Act.htm\">failing to produce enough scientists and engineers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The crisis\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2007\/10\/how-sputnik-changed-u-s-education\/\">focused the country<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ863681\">on its schools<\/a>\u00a0and resulted in the passage of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/artandhistory\/history\/minute\/Sputnik_Spurs_Passage_of_National_Defense_Education_Act.htm\">National Defense Education Act of 1958<\/a>, which invested large sums of federal dollars into education for the first time.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Rhetorical battles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>So, if war metaphors are common in the rhetoric of education policy, what is different about Duncan\u2019s tweet?<\/p>\n<p>For starters, it does not liken education to war in the abstract. Rather, it picks out specific individuals and events for comparison. Using war as an analogy for public policy such as in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/crime\/the-war-on-drugs\">war on drugs<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/21st-century\/war-on-terror-timeline\">war on terror<\/a>\u00a0can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mchenry.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=30984\">help pass legislation<\/a>. However, as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/emeriti.northwestern.edu\/david-zarefsky\/\">communication scholar David Zarefsky<\/a>\u00a0demonstrated in his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scholars.northwestern.edu\/en\/publications\/president-johnsons-war-on-poverty-rhetoric-and-history\">study of the rhetoric of the War on Poverty<\/a>, such metaphors can distort the implementation of those same laws as the people they aim to help get recast as enemies when their problems prove difficult to solve.<\/p>\n<p>Also, while abstract comparisons to war are open to interpretation, Duncan\u2019s comment brings to mind specific actors who killed or were slain in war, a clearly unpleasant subject.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, while some war metaphors use hyperbole, they do not usually have the punchline format of Duncan\u2019s tweet. Although it does not seem that Duncan was trying to be humorous, beginning the tweet with \u201chave you noticed\u201d \u2013 the classic setup for observational humor \u2013 is an awkward way to frame a tweet about a recent suicide bombing.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, war metaphors in education, especially when they are made by former or current public officials, usually make a unifying appeal. In Baltimore in August 2021, Secretary Cardona\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/news\/speeches\/secretary-cardonas-remarks-return-school-roadmap\">called the nation together<\/a>\u00a0to reopen its schools. \u201cA Nation at Risk,\u201d even though its rhetoric was bombastic, asked Americans to see the struggles of the nation\u2019s education system\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hepg.org\/hep-home\/books\/assigning-blame\">as a collective responsibility<\/a>\u00a0that should inspire a collective response.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Duncan\u2019s tweet was divisive. It characterized people who opposed masks and vaccines as enemies on par with ISIS, rather than fellow Americans who might be persuaded to change their minds.<\/p>\n<p>As I have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/through-her-divisive-rhetoric-education-secretary-devos-leaves-a-troubled-legacy-of-her-own-152914\">written<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0031721719892968\">elsewhere<\/a>, secretaries of education have a responsibility to help lead the public discourse on education in the United States. Improving the national discussion on schools was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/documents\/department-education-organization-act-statement-signing-s-210-into-law\">one reason<\/a>\u00a0President Jimmy Carter gave for founding the Department of Education and elevating its secretary to a cabinet role.<\/p>\n<p>Although Duncan is a former secretary, he continues to seek to influence education policy as a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uei.uchicago.edu\/about\/staff\/arne-duncan\">prominent educator<\/a>\u00a0and an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitiesinschools.org\/about-us\/our-leadership\/profile\/arne-duncan\">education nonprofit board member<\/a>. For those reasons, his responsibility as a rhetorical leader in the field of education continues as well.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Mark Hlavacik is Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Texas<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As President Joe Biden\u00a0oversaw the transfer of the remains of the U.S. soldiers\u00a0killed in a\u00a0suicide bomb attack\u00a0at Afghanistan\u2019s Kabul airport on Aug. 26, 2021, former Education Secretary Arne Duncan took to Twitter.
