Unintended Consequences of America’s Rush Toward STEM Education
By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. | March 22, 2016 National Center for Policy Analysis
America is obsessed with the notion that education must shift away from the liberal arts and toward the teaching of specific technical skills if we are to survive in the 21st century, which is defined by technology and ordered by global competition.

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. | March 1, 2016 National Center for Policy Analysis Education Views

OPEN LETTER TO U.S. CONGRESSMAN PETE SESSIONS
February 2, 2016 Education Views
Dear Chairman Sessions:
This correspondence is in reference to your letter of February 1, 2016 which states, “The Every Student Succeeds Act includes major reforms that will stop Washington from imposing Common Core or any other academic standards on states.”
Senator Lamar Alexander has stated that ESSA repealed the Common Core mandate while you have stated that Common Core has been defunded by the Omnibus Bill. However, a Common Core mandate has never existed for the federal government but rather for the states. Neither of you is being truthful with the American people.
The Consequences of High-Regulation in School Choice
By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. | January 14, 2016 National Center for Policy Analysis Education Views
As the public demand for school choice shifts into high gear, so does the focus shift from school choice to school quality.

GOP Colludes With White House In Education Takeover
By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. | January 14, 2016
In the face of growing outrage over the Republican support of Obama’s radical agenda to nationalize and dumb down education, lawmakers are scurrying to convince voters the Every Student Succeeds Act, actually prevents the federal government from forcing states to adopt Common Core while reducing the federal role in education.
Common Core Now Law Of the Land
By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. | December 15, 2015 National Center for Policy Analysis Education Views
Congress has repealed the No Child Left Behind Act only to replace it with a far worse centralized control of education -- Every Student Succeeds Act.
Congress has admitted that Common Core now will be federal law and that it is not about academic learning but rather changing the beliefs, values, behavior, and worldviews of students. In a nutshell, the government is conducting psychological profiling of our children.
