How Powerful Are Teachers Unions? | Policy Briefs PolicyEd 2023-07-20 | Teachers unions hold significant power in education policy, particularly at the state and local levels, where their ability to block reforms is pronounced due to low voter turnout. While they face constraints in obtaining more resources for their members, they are able to effectively resist changes that threaten their interests. Their endorsements in school elections further showcases their substantial political clout.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/policy-briefs/how-powerful-are-teachers-unions/videoAdditional Resources:Watch “Hoover Book Club: How Policies Make Interest Groups: Governments, Unions, and American Education.” Available here: hoover.org/events/hoover-book-club-how-policies-make-interest-groups-governments-unions-and-american-education.

For Higher Economic Growth, Cut Government Spending | UnArchived with David Henderson PolicyEd 2023-07-12 | Government spending surged during the pandemic but has only slightly decreased, while the projected federal deficit continues to accumulate trillions in debt annually. Historical examples, such as post-World War II and the end of the Cold War, show that substantial cuts in government spending can lead to economic booms. To achieve sustained economic expansion, reducing government involvement in private market decisions is crucial.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/unarchived/higher-economic-growth-cut-government-spending/videoAdditional resources: Read “A Fiscal History Lesson,” by David Henderson.

How Teachers’ Unions Became Political | Policy Briefs PolicyEd 2023-05-23 | In the 1950s, teachers’ unions were not politically active. Most members believed that they should not engage in political activities beyond voting. However, in the 1960s and 1970s, state governments introduced public sector labor laws that empowered public employees like teachers to collectively bargain with state and local governments. This gave unions the ability to mobilize teachers politically, which has allowed them to shape education policy in the United States.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/policy-briefs/how-teachers-unions-became-political/videoAdditional Resources: Watch “Hoover Book Club: How Policies Make Interest Groups: Governments, Unions, And American Education,” an episode of Hoover Book Club.

Chapter 1: Freedom and Unfreedom: Lessons of the 20th Century | LFHSPBC PolicyEd 2023-04-25 | Chapter one: The Difference Between Freedom and “Unfreedom”Hoover senior fellow Niall Ferguson explains why many comparisons of the modern-day United States to the unfree societies of the 1930s and 1940s are misapplied. Those tyrannies were so oppressive that individuals often weren’t allowed to meet and talk with one another late into the night without raising alarms for the regime. To pretend that those unfree societies are similar to what America has today is a gross misuse of history that dangerously misunderstands what living in a tyranny is actually like.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/lessons-hoover-policy-boot-camp/freedom-and-unfreedom-lessons-20th-century/video To learn more about the Hoover Summer Policy Boot camp, visit: hoover.org/hoover-institution-summer-policy-boot-camp.

A Recipe for Effective School Accountability | Intellections PolicyEd 2023-04-11 | Many US states and districts are reconsidering how to meet federal accountability requirements as the COVID pandemic ends. While academic standards, student assessments, and consequences for failing schools have traditionally been the focus of accountability, attention needs to be paid to the capacity of schools, districts, and states to fix their shortcomings. Policy leaders must take into account whether their schools possess the ability and will to make improvements and must recommit to results-based accountability adapted to the post-pandemic era.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/intellections/recipe-effective-school-accountability/videoAdditional resources:Read “School Accountability: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow,” by Chester E.

Chapter 3: Vouchers and Education Reform | LFHSPBC PolicyEd 2023-03-28 | Chapter three: The Impact of Current School Voucher ProgramsCurrently, there are very few voucher programs in effect in America. One reason is because opponents of voucher programs are very powerful and have been effective in preventing them. The few voucher programs that are operational spend, on average, $6,300 per pupil much less than the public school’s per pupil spending of $13,000–$14,000.

The Historical Guide to Dealing with Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine | UnArchived PolicyEd 2023-03-14 | After World War I, international law was established that banned biological and chemical weapons and attempted to shield civilians from the horrors of total war. Many believed that the intentional targeting of civilian populations would end. The Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939 shattered these illusions. Much like the experience of the 1930s, the invasion of Ukraine is shattering the illusion that aggression is a relic of the past, and a reminder that warmongering must be deterred by forceful resistance.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/unarchived/historical-guide-dealing-putins-invasion-ukraine/video Additional resources:Read “Our Spanish Civil War?” by Victor Davis Hanson via Independent Institute.

Chapter 1: Great-Power Rivals: Then and Now | LFHSPBC PolicyEd 2023-03-02 | Chapter one: The International Order Before and After World War IIAfter World War II, the US and its allies established an international system to promote economic growth, stability, and cooperation. They also promoted democratic values and institutions, which has led to the idea of the “democratic peace” theory: democracies are less likely to go to war with one another. This system has been largely successful in reducing conflict and promoting economic growth and stability.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/lessons-hoover-policy-boot-camp/great-power-rivals-then-and-now/videoTo learn more about the Hoover Summer Policy Boot camp, visit: hoover.org/hoover-institution-summer-policy-boot-camp.

Chapter 2: Formulating Foreign Policy in the Middle East | LFHSPBC PolicyEd 2023-02-23 | Chapter two: Middle Eastern PolicyThere are trade-offs in foreign policy. If the United States shifts its attention away from the Middle East—to China, for example—it opens the door for America’s adversaries to make progress in the region. Similarly, the US must not exclude working with countries on the basis of their political system, since that closes the door to for pushing for democratic change in those places.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/lessons-hoover-policy-boot-camp/formulating-foreign-policy-middle-east/videoTo learn more about the Hoover Summer Policy Boot camp, visit: hoover.org/hoover-institution-summer-policy-boot-camp.

Competent and Capable: Removing Federal Restrictions on Native Americans | Policy Briefs PolicyEd 2023-02-02 | Imagine a country where the federal government dictates that people are incompetent and incapable. Those words sound out of place in the United States, and yet that is the way the federal government describes American Indians under current federal law. This has prevented American Indians from being able to own land or assets on US reservations without permission and has left them impoverished. Some tribes have been able to have success thanks to negotiations with the government, but why not remove the legislation entirely and allow American Indians to be free?For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/policy-briefs/competent-and-capable/video.Additional Resources:Watch “Hoover Book Club: Terry Anderson on Renewing Indigenous Economies,” an episode of Hoover Book Club.

Chapter 1: China’s Global Ambition and the US Response with Elizabeth Economy | LFHSPBC PolicyEd 2023-01-17 | Chapter one: What Are Xi Jinping’s Global Ambitions for China?Xi Jinping’s global ambitions are to transform the world order by redrawing the geographic boundaries of China and replacing the United States as the dominant power in the Asia Pacific.

The Fed Replays History: Lessons in Dealing with Inflation | UnArchived PolicyEd 2023-01-11 | Historically, the Federal Reserve has contributed to periods of high inflation—followed by painful recessions—by responding sluggishly to economic signals. The Fed appeared to have learned its lesson after the recession of 1980–82, which was followed by 40 years of relatively low inflation. But after the pandemic of 2020, the Fed was slow to respond to mounting inflation. Adherence to a rules-based approach would discourage such mistakes in the future.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/unarchived/fed-replays-history-lessons-dealing-inflation/video.

How Unpredictable Schedules Widen the Pay Gap | Intellections PolicyEd 2023-01-04 | The gender pay gap can remain even among workers with the same role, seniority, and pay structure. One reason is due to unpredictable scheduling. When schedules are unpredictable, women are less likely than men to be able to accept last-minute overtime opportunities and to work odd hours. Making schedules more predictable can help reduce the gap.For more information, visit the PolicyEd page here: policyed.org/intellections/how-unpredictable-schedules-widen-gender-pay-gap/video# Additional resources:Read “Why Do Women Earn Less than Men?
