Book excerpt: To provide information for federal deliberations on the reauthorization of more than 50 elementary and secondary education programs, this report describes efforts by states to improve schools, examines trends and conditions in primary and secondary education, and analyzes options for changing the federal role in education. Following an overview of education and the federal government, chapter 1 of the report describes the purposes of federal support for educational programs and discusses the educational reform movement that began in the early 1980s. Chapter 2 profiles elementary and secondary education nationwide, focusing on trends in educational outcomes, school resources, and student and family characteristics, while chapter 3 addresses issues of the relative priority that should be given to equity and excellence in education, and the level of control the government should exercise over education. Chapter 4 describes options for reducing the federal role in education through the use of block grants that define funding purposes but do not specify states' implementation procedures, and chapter 5 discusses options for refining the current federal role through fully funding current programs, eliminating programs not directed to special populations, and focusing on early education. Finally, chapter 6 reviews approaches to promoting educational reform, including national curriculum and national assessment efforts, school-based reform, and modification of key elements of the educational system as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One civil rights-era law has reshaped American society—and contributed to the country's ongoing culture wars Few laws have had such far-reaching impact as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Intended to give girls and women greater access to sports programs and other courses of study in schools and colleges, the law has since been used by judges and agencies to expand a wide range of antidiscrimination policies—most recently the Obama administration’s 2016 mandates on sexual harassment and transgender rights. In this comprehensive review of how Title IX has been implemented, Boston College political science professor R. Shep Melnick analyzes how interpretations of "equal educational opportunity" have changed over the years. In terms accessible to non-lawyers, Melnick examines how Title IX has become a central part of legal and political campaigns to correct gender stereotypes, not only in academic settings but in society at large. Title IX thus has become a major factor in America's culture wars—and almost certainly will remain so for years to come.
