California: The anti-education-reform state
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 8.22.2011
Across America, state after state has enacted bold, far-reaching systemic education reforms. In contrast, California has not only failed to enact such fundamental reforms, but has actually gone backwards and passed laws that reduce accountability, protect special interests and preserve the status quo.
Grading Jerry Brown's charter school
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 8.5.2011
In the State Capitol, bills hostile to charter schools, which are deregulated public schools independent of school districts, have snaked their way through the Legislature. If they reach Jerry Brown's desk, it will be interesting to see what the governor decides to do, since he founded a successful charter school, the Oakland Military Institute.

Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 8.1.2011
Parents, not government, should decide what is the best educational setting for their deaf children. An increasing number of states agree with this premise and have passed laws to empower parents of disabled students, including those with hearing impairments, to make their own choice.
