States Rights Used To Stifle Education
In a column on education and freedom, Thomas L. Stokes contrasts American federalism with Soviet progress in schooling. He cites Russia’s rapid 10 year primary secondary expansion to 30 million students, warns against state rights debates, and urges robust federal support for schools, colleges, and universities. The piece references Taft era education funding debates and a U.S. Office of Education volume urging renewed commitment to democratic schooling.
