If I Ran Admissions at an Elite School
Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from the essay, “Making Admissions to Elite Colleges Fair.” The full essay can be accessed here. If by some quirk of fate I should have complete control over how admissions at an elite school get decided, what would I do? It’s the old hypothetical of if I were king or dictator or grand poobah. Hypotheticals like this often have no traction with reality. But bear with my proposal for running admissions at an elite school. Once the proposal is on the table, we can turn to its practicability — whether it stands any chance of actually being implemented. My goal in changing admissions at elite schools is to make them fair. Right now they Read More ›

“Systems of Power”: CA Ethnic Studies Program Continues to Radicalize Students
Controversy has reared its head again in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) in California. The district recently convened a special board meeting to deliberate on its Ethnic Studies curriculum and the potential renewal of a contract with Community Responsive Education (CRE).

Though the district’s multi-stage contract with CRE was canceled in 2023 amidst the controversy, Tintiangco-Cubales’s ideas live on. No wonder many are concerned that PVUSD is considering a renewed contract with CRE. The meeting made it clear that PVUSD was fully aware of the nature of CRE’s philosophy Read More ›

It’s Time for States to Reform Teacher Pay and Teacher Certification
The Trump administration hit the ground running, reforming education in America. Most recently, President Trump signed the “Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities” executive order. The order calls for the Secretary of Education to take all steps lawful to move toward closing the U.S. Department of Education and return authority to the states. According to a press release from the Department of Education, among other things, “Teachers will be unshackled from burdensome regulations and paperwork, empowering them to get back to teaching basic subjects.” This is a vital step forward for educators nationwide. However, the teacher education reforms that are needed must not stop there. Recently, Vivek Ramaswamy penned an article for The Wall Street Journal titled “Some Teachers Read More ›
