Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-08 00:00:00 Paula Riley A load of tendentious, self-serving bullshit. But what can we expect from our pals at the Hoover Institute? There's some (i.e., a little bit of) useful stuff in here, but most of the pieces are like Sol Stern's take on the CFE litigation in NY ("The March of Folly"): over-written, under-researched (or inadequately researched, or selectively researched) neocon make-work. But hey, if you're one of those people who refers to the free market as "efficient" (it's certainly very "efficient" at taking millions of dollars from rich people and redistributing it to veterinarians who are busy cloning their precious pooches) and views "success" in public school in terms of numbers that are often obtained by bubbling in answers more or less at random on various standardized tests, this is the book for you!

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-13 00:00:00 Hunter Wells Dense and boring. I read dense material on a daily basis for school, so dense material doesn't scare me. I did not stop reading this for lack of ability to muddle through. The beginning was interesting as the absolute insanity of the federal government was revealed, but towards the middle of the book, it just starts feeling really repetitive with nothing too interesting going on.
