		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was day two of the We the People competition, and we judged another 14 teams. Although there were a couple of substandard performances,  most of the students we saw on Day Two ranged from impressive to phenomenal. The opening question these teams had to answer was hardly a model of clarity. &#8220;In Federalist 51, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this morning&#8217;s New York Times, Frank Bruni has a must-read column on the purposes of higher education. He focuses upon a debate currently consuming Texas, but anyone who has listened to the rhetoric coming from the Indiana General Assembly will recognize it as an issue equally salient in Indiana. As Bruni poses the central [...]]]></description>

Today, in one of the panels, I heard something that really struck me: a definition of a good education. A good education is learning that has the cumulative effect of increasing the capacity of each citizen to control his/her fate. I like this definition, [...]]]></description>

Kahne is investigating the effect of digital media on young people&#8217;s political knowledge and engagement, and his preliminary findings (let&#8217;s face it, at this stage of our &#8216;cyber-world,&#8217; everything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a growing debate about the value of a college education. That debate takes two basic forms. The most prominent is an argument that the rising costs of higher education are making college years less cost-effective&#8211;that what you get really isn&#8217;t worth what you pay. There is also a growing &#8220;movement&#8221; of young [...]]]></description>

The legal issues are very different&#8211;both challenges were based upon state constitutional provisions, and Indiana&#8217;s constitution doesn&#8217;t contain the provision that was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Brooks&#8217; New York Times column this morning was depressing. Brooks was discussing academic research that traced a variety of adult anti-social behaviors and failures to cope back to certain &#8220;adverse&#8221; childhood experiences, including abuse, incarceration of a parent and similar destabilizing experiences. The link between childhood trauma and adult outcomes was striking. People with [...]]]></description>

In Ohio, those incentives were financial; the Ohio Superintendent forced to resign was gaming the system for money. Today&#8217;s lesson, children, centers upon a different incentive: the opportunity for proselytization. Welcome to Bobby Jindal&#8217;s Louisiana.   Mother Jones reports on Jindal&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
