Synopsis

The Ruling Classroom documents a social studies experiment played out by seventh graders in Mill Valley, California.

The educational experiment was the brainchild of teacher George Muldoon, who suspended the normal social studies curriculum in order to let his students learn about government by constructing it for themselves.
