The state’s policy of ‘Massive Resistance’ exemplifies the incendiary combination of race and education in the US By Susan Smith-Richardson and Lauren Burke Not long after Patricia Turner and a handful of Black students desegregated Norview junior high school in Norfolk, Virginia, she realized a big difference between her new white school and her former Black school. That February of 1959, she didn’t have to wear a coat in class to stay warm, because Norview was heated. She hadn’t noticed the difference earlier because of the steady volley of...

read moreNoble Intentions, Counterproductive Results: The Tragic Inefficacy of a Deontological Policy Approach
Scott Newman The Rittenhouse trial reminded us of what we already know: Americans are now more divided than ever. Questions of race, class, and fairness are important, but discourse on these issues tends to be vague, grandiose, and informed by generalities, abstractions, and righteous indignation. This is not helpful. To identify the key drivers of inequality in America, we ought to look at concrete data. When we do, we’ll see that, contrary to popular belief, progressives and conservatives actually want the same thing: to improve people’s...
read moreYes, Parents Can Choose Curricula for Their Children – With Success
By Lance Izumi Terry McAuliffe sank his Virginia gubernatorial bid with his condescension toward parents, typified in his claim that experts, not parents, were the only ones qualified to choose school curricula. “I love Billy and Jack McAuliffe, my parents, but they should not have been picking my math and science book,” McAuliffe told NBC’s Meet the Press. “We have experts who actually do that.” McAuliffe’s response was not only tone-deaf – given the grassroots parent revolt against curricula chosen by experts – but it also ignored the...

The lucky folks in the first group have an open invitation to riot, obstruct, occupy, trespass and shut down anything deemed necessary based on their cause du jour.

By now, the American people have heard about the “January 6...

It can be difficult for immigrants in the U.S. who don’t speak English to support their children’s education. “It feels like immigrant parents are deliberately excluded and pushed to the margins,” said one mother regarding inadequate translation services.
