The Case for Elitism: Why the best-and-brightest are now the under-served

I believe that historians will look back at the descent of America and blame much of it on the replacement of focus on the best and brightest with a focus on "the least among us." I make the case in my Psychology Today article today. 

The Elitist Common Core Standards

The Common Core is the new K-12 curriculum that the Obama Administration is pressuring all states to adopt.

I have a deep concern about it, and it's not the absurd arguments of the Religious Right.

The problem with the Common Core is--in the name of high standards--forcing all students to learn arcana that is utterly useless.  Only the out-of-touch PhD.-riddled committee could have mandated it.

I make this argument more powerfully with specifics in an op-ed published today in The Daily Caller.
