April 17, 2009 5:01PM # Rare Duncan-Free Friday By [Neal McCluskey](https://www.cato.org/people/neal-mccluskey) --- SHARE As readers of this blog, and [other fine blogs](http://jaypgreene.com/2009/04/13/friday-night-massacres/), have no doubt noticed over the last few weeks, Fridays have been kind of popular with the Obama administration for quietly doing questionable education stuff. Well somehow we’ve gotten through this Friday (as far as we know) without Obama and company trying to slip anything past us, leaving us with nothing new to add to recent posts like [this one](https://www.cato.org/2009/04/16/duncan-im-a-big-fan-of-choice-and-competition/), and [this one](https://www.cato.org/2009/04/15/juan-williams-blasts-obama-duncan-on-vouchers/), and [this one](https://www.cato.org/2009/04/15/duncan-the-mercenary-obama-the-coward/). Look at this as a blessing, and a chance to catch up on all the recent federal edu-action by checking out today’s [Cato Daily Podcast featuring yours truly](https://www.cato.org/dailypodcast/podcast-archive.php?podcast_id=877). I give a quick summary of what the Obama administration has promised and done to date, and a prediction of what it will — and won’t — do when edu-push finally comes to edu-shove. It’s a perfect bit of listening for a surprisingly uneventful Friday afternoon. ##### Related Tags [Education](https://www.cato.org/education), [Center for Educational Freedom](https://www.cato.org/center-educational-freedom) [![Creative Commons License](/build/cato_2020/images/creative-commons.svg)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) This work is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/).
