The Parental Choice Fallacy In Education Reform Debates, James G. Dwyer
The Parental Choice Fallacy In Education Reform Debates, James G. Dwyer
James G. Dwyer
Some tout parental school choice as a strategy for promoting, among other school-related goods, educational innovation. This Article offers clarifying and skeptical thoughts about that position. It first explains what “educational innovation” and “parental choice” mean. It then considers what limitations on this strategy might arise from existing legal regulations, from market forces, or from ethical obligations to children. Finally, the Article explains why parental choice is also unlikely to improve education for the children most in need of a better academic environment and suggests an alternative approach to student reassignment that is much more likely to do so.

Religious Schooling And Homeschooling Before And After Hobby Lobby, James G. Dwyer
Religious Schooling And Homeschooling Before And After Hobby Lobby, James G. Dwyer
James G. Dwyer
The most serious incursions on religious liberty in America today are being inflicted on children by parents and private school operators through power the State has given them. This Article examines the potential effect of the Court’s Hobby Lobby decision on interpreting the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (“RFRA”) on both federal and state levels, detailing why the Court’s decision is irrelevant to addressing the incursions on liberty experienced by children subject to religious and home schooling.
