Education

The reading wars. Trends on STEM. Reflections on private and single-sex schools. Sound advice from a former Liberal minister on closing the urban-bush education gap. How the American left is becoming more stupid.

Public ideas

All you need to know about economics in a short article, supported by an 11-minute video. Why are evangelical Christians attracted to political strongmen (Hint: it has nothing to do with the Sermon on the Mount). Introducing, or re-introducing, Jrgen Habermas.
