Further Governmental Interventionism
While NRO is hailing the President and his strong leadership of his party back into the good graces of the public, it quietly berates the same party for Bush's (NCLB) and the resulting wave of intereventionalism. According to NRO's Neal McCluskey:
For decades, conservatives stood against big-government intrusions into American education. They defended local control of schooling, championed parental choice, and pushed to abolish the federal Department of Education. But then, tragedy struck: Republicans took power in Washington, and conservatives suddenly learned to love big government. Indeed, some are now so enamored of it that they are proposing what was once unthinkable: having the federal government set curricular standards for every public school in America.
With friends like these, libertarians don't need enemies. Let's hope NRO's education prediction is as illusory as their polls that are "rising everywhere."
