One of the many excellent points Charles Murray makes is too many teenagers of average or modest academic ability are encouraged to go on to higher education. Their career advisers and schools do not alert them to the many well-paid blue-collar jobs that do not require higher education or at least no university education.

Why Senator Elizabeth Warren supported school choice and school vouchers

It is not a coincidence that Warren’s support for school choice dropped through the floor once she decided to run for public office as a Democrat. In spite of large cash infusions from wealthy environmentalists and trial lawyers, teacher unions remain the party’s largest and most influential donor base.

…In recent years, Warren has bent over backwards to qualify what she “really meant” by school choice.

In a rather astonishing reinterpretation of her own work, it turns out she never supported vouchers for religious school or even for non-sectarian private schools, just the ability to go to a public school in an adjacent district.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
