Congress is working to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, and prospects for meaningful reform are poor. Most proposals call for a nip here and a tuck there, but little else. That won’t do, according to Cato education analyst Neal McCluskey’s new book Feds in the Classroom: How Big Government Corrupts, Cripples and Compromises American Education. After examining Washington’s education track record and the largely forgotten history of American schooling, McCluskey concludes that only two things — ceasing federal education involvement and implementing universal school choice — can get our kids the education they need. Please join us for a discussion of this controversial thesis and what must be done to truly leave no child behind.
