Education

Even though homeschooling is growing in this country and the educational results are overwhelmingly positive, US progressive journalists naturally believe homeschooling is dangerous and in need of “oversight.”

From 1949 to 1962, American libertarian R.C. Hoiles and Ludwig von Mises corresponded many times, discussing issues relating to state power. While the correspondence at times was acrimonious, nonetheless, it offered valuable insight into the issues we still face.

While Donald Trump is trying to appeal to homeschooling families with his Agenda 47 plan, the reality is that by offering tax breaks and subsidies, the federal government ultimately will be able to regulate homeschooling, and federal control will ruin homeschooling as we know it.

In writing about the scope and history of education in the U.S., Albert J. Nock had high hopes for its future. Even though much of it has degenerated into wokeism and outright mediocrity, there always seem to be green shoots of learning coming from those who still value learning.

One of the reasons for the hard-left turn in higher education has been the increasing radicalization of accreditation agencies. It is important for colleges and universities to break away from these agencies and rethink the accreditation process.

We have reason to be optimistic about the future.

"You go to college not so much because of the educational characteristics, and maybe not just because of the signaling, but maybe because it's just a lot of fun."

The student loan program not only is saddling young people with huge debts, but it also encourages colleges and universities to charge higher tuition. When President Obama nationalized the program, it was supposed to end students indebtedness, not increase it.

The Biden administration is determined to do an end run around the courts and ram through yet another student loan forgiveness plan. It is not real “loan forgiveness” but just a massive wealth transfer from lower-income to higher-income groups.
