Objective: Education equity has always been the mainstream discourse in the USA’s public education, and also the crucial idea for promoting its political democracy and social justice. The political elites spare no efforts ever to induce the public to acknowledge and accept its values system by political persuasion and indoctrination under its official discourse framework. As the representative of the political elites, the US President plays an important role. Based on J. P. Gee’s analytic theory, this article has made a critical discourse analysis of Obama’s speeches and remarks about public education, trying to reveal that it is the neoliberalist ideology that drives the Obama’s education reform. Methods: Using J. P. Gee’s analytic theory to do quantitative Study of President Obama’s speeches and remarks about public education. Results: Getting Rid out of the US Economic Dilemma is the Original Intention of Obama's New Education Reform; Neoliberalism-driven Educational Equity is A Disguise of Racist Rationality. Values: it can provide a means for the using of J. P. Gee’s critical discourse analysis. Conclusion: Obama’s education reform has adopted the market principles of marketization of education, enterprization of schools, standardization of academy and productization of students, and hence draws a conclusion that the so-called education equity demonstrated in the USA’s official discourse framework is in fact to cover its institutional inequity. This article is a try for the application of J. P. Gee’ s critical discourse analysis on official discourse and is meaningful for the language policy development in multilingual countries.
