I don’t quite buy Jason Richwine’s insouciance about the wretched US scores on international education rankings:
While the U.S. gets mediocre scores, it also has demographic and socioeconomic challenges that the more homogeneous European and East Asian countries do not.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also “settler” nations, yet all significantly out-perform US schools on these charts. If the argument is that those countries have less insane immigration policies (which is certainly true), the upcoming amnesty is only going to make those challenges significantly more challenging.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
