Stop Scapegoating Teachers Unions

TERRY MOE MADE his name in the early 1990s when, with John Chubb, he co-authored a much-discussed book arguing for a system of publicly-funded private school vouchers. The central thesis of Politics, Markets and Americaâ??s Schools was that â??direct democratic controlâ? of public education was â??incompatible with effective schooling.â? Chubb and Moe argued that private school vouchers would create efficient markets in education, and that â??choice is a panacea.â?
