Feds in the Classroom: How Big Government

The federal government is deeply entrenched in American public education and virtually dictates what can be taught to students. Why? At what cost? And what are the benefits to public school students? To public schools? The author challenges the constitutionality of the feds in the classroom and reminds readers that public education has, until recently, been the function of state and local governments.

Neal P. McCluskey is a policy analyst with Cato Institute's Center for Educational Freedom.
