Scrap New Teacher Tenure Policy; Erect Wall Between Government and Education
Michael A. LaFerrara June 22, 2012
Like many states, New Jersey has been grappling with the issue of teacher tenure in its government schools. Now, a major tenure reform bill sponsored by State Sen. Teresa Ruiz (D) is gaining steam in the state legislature. It would restructure tenure around a “teacher effectiveness and evaluation” procedure focussed…

The Indecency of FCC Censorship
Ari Armstrong June 21, 2012
The good news is that the Supreme Court threw out Federal Communications Commission fines against television broadcasters who let slip a swear word or image of partial nudity, Fox News reports. The bad news is that the ruling is restricted to the FCC’s notification practices. The ruling states: Because the…

Government’s Proper Role Regarding Tuition Rates for “Illegal” Immigrants
Ari Armstrong June 20, 2012
Why is government involved in setting college tuition rates? The Denver Post reports: Colorado Attorney General John Suthers on Tuesday said state-supported institutions of higher education do not have the authority to create discounted tuition categories for illegal-immigrant students without legislative approval. The opinion came in response to a query…

Arthur C. Brooks’s Missing Moral Case for Capitalism
Ari Armstrong June 19, 2012
[caption id="attachment_4321" align="alignright" width="300"] Image: Gage Skidmore[/caption] Arthur C. Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, rightly states, “To argue specific policies, free enterprise advocates need to be fluent in the moral case.” Unfortunately, if Brooks’s articles on “Policy Solutions” and entitlements are any indication of what he regards as…

Ragnar Danneskjold’s Love
Craig Biddle June 18, 2012
After interviewing Bryan Larsen for the Summer issue if TOS, I reread my favorite part of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, the scene in which Ragnar Danneskjold meets Hank Rearden on a road at night and hands him a bar of gold, returning some of the money that the government has…

Mises on Government: Size Doesn’t Matter
Ari Armstrong June 15, 2012
In just two paragraphs, Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises corrects both conservatives and libertarians regarding the proper nature of government. Whereas conservatives advocate “small” government, as if the size of government were the essential issue, Mises points out that the essential question is not how big government is, but what…

New Jersey’s Surrogate Motherhood Bill and Its Vicious Opposition
Michael A. LaFerrara June 14, 2012
A proposed New Jersey law would revise the state’s surrogate parenting laws to legalize a new type of surrogacy, called “gestational surrogacy.” A state senate committee report on the New Jersey Gestational Carrier Agreement Act explains: A gestational carrier agreement is a written contract pursuant to which a woman agrees…

Clockwork Angels Showcases Rush’s Pride
Ari Armstrong June 13, 2012
Rush’s raw 1974 self-titled album, written before lyricist and drummer Neil Peart joined the band, features anything but subtle lyrics, yet one of the lines from the very first song in some ways summarizes Rush’s body of work: “I’m finding my way back home.” Rush—a “progressive rock” trio featuring Peart,…

Louisiana’s Voucher Plan to De-Privatize Private Schools
Michael A. LaFerrara June 12, 2012
Louisiana has passed a bill establishing in the state the broadest school voucher system in America to date. Under the plan, all of Louisiana’s school children are eligible for full or partial state-issued private school tuition vouchers up to $8,800, the current annual per-pupil cost of the state’s government-run schools.…

The Morality of Unequal Pay for Unequal Work
Ari Armstrong June 11, 2012
The good news, as Dan Mitchell reports, is that a measure to force greater “equality” between the pay of men and women—the so-called “Paycheck Fairness Act”—“didn’t get enough votes to overcome a procedural objection” in the Senate. The bad news is that this statist measure made it to the Senate…

Hey “Liberals”: Obama Has Nothing On Your Should-be Hero Bush
Michael A. LaFerrara June 10, 2012
Marc A. Thiessen recently noted that American “liberals” strongly support President Obama’s counterterrorism policies even though his policies are almost indistinguishable from President Bush’s, which liberals hated. But what Thiesson dubbed the “Obama-Bush Doctrine” is just an indication of the likeness of these two presidents. If liberals were to take…

Gladwell & Co.’s Monstrous Injustice Against Businessmen
Ari Armstrong June 9, 2012
What explains the pervasive hostility toward productive entrepreneurs and business executives in our culture? Consider the following illustrations: Bureaucrats with the Federal Trade Commission are questioning Google’s founders—and may sue the company under antitrust laws—for “unfairly” writing its search result algorithms the way the company deems best. Tony Romm explains…

Laws Against Human Life and the Heroes Who Fight Them
Ari Armstrong June 8, 2012
It’s almost as though some politicians want to kill people. Certainly the political assault on medical freedom threatens people’s lives. Consider a couple recent news stories. John Graham writes for Forbes about ObamaCare’s “2.3 percent excise tax on medical devices,” a tax he describes as “a savage blow to innovation.”…

SAT Sponsor Caves to Egalitarians, Throws Smartest Teens Under Bus
Richard M. Salsman June 7, 2012
[Correction posted below. —RMS] The College Board, which administers the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for high school students seeking college admission, has cravenly capitulated to pressure from egalitarian democracy-mongers who despise the unequal brains, potential, and talent of America’s smartest students. The Board had recently announced a special program, offered…

Why Walker’s Victory Matters
Ari Armstrong June 6, 2012
Congratulations to Wisconsin governor Scott Walker for his victory in yesterday’s recall election. Walker deserves praise for bringing his state’s budget shortfalls under control by limiting compensation and “collective bargaining” power of “public” unions. Three aspects of Walker’s agenda merit special attention. First—horror of horrors—Walker and the legislature required government…
