Another School Choice Trifecta: Jared Polis, Bill Cosby, Ben DeGrow… Swish!

by | 2:01 pm, January 27, 2012

Since yesterday’s school choice trifecta was so successful, why not another one to help bring a smashing conclusion to National School Choice Week? We’re in the heart of basketball season — it’s not March Madness time yet — but still “trifecta” gets me thinking about making that long-range jumper for student-centered education reform:

Yesterday, Colorado’s U.S. [...]

Constitutional Authority House Rule XII Largely Ignored

by | 6:02 am, January 20, 2012

Perhaps I’m getting cynical in my old age but this was worthless from the start. How ridiculous even to think that limits would be honored when they are written by the very people who intended to ignore them.
