\nWhen it comes to education, conservatives have been far
\nbetter at explaining what they are against than what they are for \u2014 at least
\nbeyond school choice in K-12 and freedom of speech on campus. But guest Rick
\nHess argues that conservatives are actually well positioned to lead much more
\neffectively on education, because the left’s entanglements with unions, public
\nbureaucracies, and the academy constrain the options available to progressives.
\nIt isn’t hard to see why the right has tended to play defense on education, Rick
\nsays, but it’s time to do much more than that. He outlines an agenda that could
\nappeal to the public and dramatically improve education in America.
