Advancing by degrees

American education suffers from a variety of maladies, whether it is meddling judges (Andrew Peyton Thomas, p. 26) or out-of-control multiculturalists (Jon Sanders, p. 38). But against this background of failure there are signs of hope, in the enterprisingness of homeschoolers (Isabel Lyman, p. 30), the founders of single-sex schools (Christine Whelan, p.

34), and even conservatives at Yale (Avik Roy, p. 40). Most importantly, the environment in which battles over education are fought is changing radically (Ramesh Ponnuru, see below).
