The Cato Institute seeks to broaden the parameters of public policy debate to allow consideration of the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and peace. Toward that goal, the Institute strives to achieve greater involvement of the intelligent, concerned lay public in questions of policy and the proper role of government.

				<title>Obama's Higher Education Reforms Doomed to Fail (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=14074</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Usually low-tier, last week President Obama signaled in both the State of the Union and a University of Michigan speech that higher education will loom large in Campaign 2012.

With Americans outraged over skyrocketing prices and student debt, it makes sense. Unfortunately, Obama's proposed soluti...]]></description>

				<title>One Size Does Not Fit All (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=14046</link>
				<description><![CDATA[The best way to look at education is not as a private or public good, but from the perspective of reality: All people are different, and diverse people cannot be equally served by a single school system. Some parents want their children to learn that Columbus was good, some bad. Some kids are ready ...]]></description>

				<title>No Child -- And the Latest Lost Decade (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=14000</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Sunday was the 10th birthday of the No Child Left Behind Act, the federal government's signature education law.

You probably didn&#8217;t notice a lot of partying, though, because in keeping with numerous decades of federal meddling, the act&#8217;s been an expensive dud.

				<title>NCLB: Perspectives on the Law (Commentary)</title>

				<description><![CDATA[In 1975, assessing the first 10 years of Title I, RAND Corp. researcher Milbrey McLaughlin found that the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was failing. No one in Washington, however, wanted to take it on because "the teachers, administrators, and others whose salaries are paid by Title I, or w...]]></description>

				<title>Why Can't We Stop Fighting Over Christmas? (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=13949</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Christmas is supposed to be a season of peace. But thanks to public schooling, for many Americans it is instead a time of war.
Battles over Christmas in public schools are, unfortunately, as inevitable as inflatable Santas and gridlocked malls, and this year is no exception.
After receiving compla...]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Want to do exactly the wrong things to fix US higher education? You can't do much better than the recent offerings from Education Secretary Arne Duncan. To a system blackout-drunk on taxpayer money, the Obama administration would deliver even more booze while only whispering about tough love.

				<title>How Much Ivory Does This Tower Need? What We Spend on, and Get from, Higher Education (Policy Analysis)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=13801</link>
				<description><![CDATA[It is commonly asserted, especially by people within higher education, that the American Ivory Tower is strapped for cash and tightfisted taxpayers are to blame. Taxpayer support for postsecondary education has long been in decline, this narrative goes, and has forced schools to continually raise tu...]]></description>

				<title>D.C. Drove Up Your Student Debt (Commentary)</title>

				<description><![CDATA[One of the major complaints of the Occupy Wall Street crowd, many of whom have taken on significant student debt, is that the cost of college is too darn high. And they're right, but not because of greedy corporate fat cats. No, the real guilty party here is federal politicians, who for decades have...]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Soon after his boss introduced the American Jobs Act, Vice President Joe Biden held a conference call to get teachers' unions behind it.

				<description><![CDATA[As a new school year begins, it evokes idyllic thoughts of yellow school buses ambling through leafy neighborhoods, picking up cheery children and delivering them to their local public schools. It's calming, peaceful and exactly the kind of imagery that blinds us to the war zone that public schoolin...]]></description>
