Education

Three major problems faced by America’s colleges and universities — and their solutions.

The 1215 Magna Carta limited the power of central government and it forced a reigning monarch to grant his English subjects rights. It laid the foundations for limited constitutional governments, an idea offensive to most leftists.

Although it may be difficult today for American socialist students to study abroad in places like Cuba or North Korea, they could lobby U.S. officials to facilitate it.

The first step toward any solution is for the American people to be aware of academic fraud that occurs at every level of education. Federal prosecutors have charged more than 50 people involved in cheating and bribery in order to get their children admitted to some...

How can a college criticize the hoaxers but revere ridiculous journals that publish nonsense? The real “hoax” is on students who pay thousands of dollars for useless degrees in fields that end in “studies.”

Most students have not been exposed before to the concept of laissez-faire capitalism and the central role the protection of individual rights play in it.

The key for many students is to follow their own interests, rather than following orders.

School Choice Week isn’t just about letting kids and parents choose where they go to school. It also means being able to choose what ideas they learn — including the concept of choice itself.

The most crucial input for a child’s education cannot be provided by schools or politicians.

A Success Academy charter elementary school in Harlem had a higher proportion of the children in one of its classes pass the statewide math exam than in any other class at the same grade level, anywhere in the state of New York.

There’s little question that charter schools provide superior educational opportunities for black youngsters.

Trump wants to give urban parents an opt-out of an underperforming government school. Resistance against Trump ought not to translate into resistance against parents who want a better future for their children.

So long as academia talks demographic “diversity” and practices groupthink when it comes to ideas, we have little reason to expect better of student mobs that riot with impunity.

One of the most successful schools I visited was in an aging building in a rundown ghetto neighborhood in New York, where a friend told me that I was “brave” — he meant foolhardy — to park a car.

Teachers’ unions have fought for years to prevent charter schools from being created.

What is needed is a radical change, and in my opinion, this means the denationalization, the full and complete privatization of schooling from kindergarten through graduate education.

The teaching establishment, at our public schools and colleges, is being used to undermine American values.
