Criticizing the excesses of higher education has become a cottage industry for conservative writers.* And so it should be, but are we learning the right lessons from this rich banquet of bile?
School choice is one reform idea that makes sense, but the school choice people put too much faith in the idea that market choice alone will solve problems that originate with leftist ideology.
Far too often, in poor-performing districts, school choice laws simply empower the creation of poor-performing private schools teaching the same leftist ideology taught in the public schools.
