Professional development (PD) programs for teachers have been co-opted by the Left. These programs should help teachers upskill—not bully them into spreading controversial material in the classroom. Unfortunately, too many school districts pay outside consultants handsomely to lecture educators on Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender politics. School districts and administrators should focus on a... Read more »

Brazen Union Favoritism at the NLRB

Federal law already protects private-sector employees’ right to form a union, but the Biden administration believes that’s not enough.

Quick Take: We Aren’t Fooled, Democrats’ Inflation Expansion Bill Will Cost Taxpayers a Fortune

Today, President Biden will sign the so-called Inflation Reduction Act before the release of the final Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score, which lays out how much a bill will cost taxpayers.

Yet we know the cost of government programs are underestimated while profits are overestim... Read more »

Democrats’ Inflation Bill Stymies Medical Innovation and Increases the Cost of Health Care

| Posted in E&W Blog

Democrats’ reconciliation bill implements socialist price-setting controls on prescription drugs and expands spending on Obamacare. These inflationary subsidies are a threat to employer-sponsored insurance and will ultimately raise the price of health care.
