The Politics of the PTA by Charlene K. Haar

It isn't just the teachers' unions that are dominated by special interests that care more about keeping their coffers full than educating young people -- or even getting parents involved in their child's education. A detailed examination of a tarnished American institution.

A thought-provoking examination of the evolution of "political preferences". Wide ranging (and sometimes far-reaching), weaving connections between biological and social sciences.

Administrative Note

There was such a high level of interest in our Book of the Year voting that we're looking into other ways to make the books section of Free-Market.Net more interactive, and of greater value to you. To that end, I've shifted publication of the Freedom Book of the Month column back to the third week of the month, with plans to begin offering a second feature published the first week of each month. If you don't wish to have two book-related emails from us each month, you can unsubscribe from the Freedom Book of the Month list here: http://www.free-market.net/features/lists/.

If you're reading this online and would like to subscribe to the Freedom Book of the Month email list, you may do so by using the link above. It's free and easy. We keep your email address and all other information private, too.
