This week’s Gadfly is now available for all the world to see. And much of the world, after reading Mike and Amber’s editorial, should be quite pleased with itself–the globe, it seems, or at least a significant portion of its citizens, have surpassed the United States on tests of students’ academic prowess. Also in this issue we applaud George Will and denigrate Dallas Independent School District, and Christina turns in a fine short review of Charles Murray’s new book, Real Education. No podcast this week; for that, you can thank me when you see me (perhaps here?).
