Charters vs. Vouchers
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 8 hours ago
While charter schools and vouchers are both members of the school choice family, they are cousins who only occasionally get along. And as a public school fan, I have a definite preferred cousin. It may seem like a thousand years ago, but when Betsy DeVos first turned up as an education secretary candidate, some charter fans actually expressed concerns. DeVos felt the need to reach out to charter fans and offer an olive branch. That's because DeVos, like many fans of a pay-your-own-way voucher system, was content to back charters as a way to crack apart the public education system an...

President Biden has said the US return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or “Iran Nuclear Deal,” is on the table, but officials from Tehran refuse to meet with US diplomats without the promise to lift the Trump-era sanctions against their country. Is there any hope to breathe new life into the deal? Former US Marine intelligence officer and chief UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter shares his insights. In the end just ask the Native Americans if anyone should ever trust Washington's treaty process.

Whether America Stays or Goes, the Taliban Will Control Afghanistan

*Michal Šenk* *Afghanistan, South Asia* Given the Taliban’s incessant rise, debating America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan is increasingly irrelevant and harmful. When the Trump administration announced in 2020 that it would begin a full withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, many were quick to conclude that after almost two decades the United States was, in effect, conceding defeat in its longest war, capitulating to an insurgent group. A number of indicators certainly pointed in that direction. Signing the agreement with the Taliban served not only as a sober admission that, de...
