It’s not unusual to hear modern-day America (and more broadly, the modern West) compared with the late stages of the Roman Republic, which crumbled and gave way to totalitarian rule by caesars. But is the comparison valid? Here's what FEE president emeritus Lawrence W. Reed has to say on the...

Even though the curricula have developed, the essence has stayed the same. Children are still taught in a standardized and industrialized way. It is highly inefficient, bureaucratic, and wasteful.
