Description

It's common for voters to complain that Congress doesn't do enough on a number of different issues, citing gridlock and political dysfunction. But what about areas where it would actually be better if Congress did less?

On this episode, we discuss why education has become such a polarized issue, and why Congress is ill-suited to make real progress on behalf of students. Sutherland Institute Education Policy Fellow Christine Cooke Fairbanks joins the podcast to argue for returning more of these contentious issues – education in particular – to the states.
