- More about The Malfunction of US Education Policy: Elite Misinformation, Disinformation, and Selfishness
The Malfunction of US Education Policy: Elite Misinformation, Disinformation, and Selfishness is a 2023 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title that highlights the biased and inefficient information dissemination that has degraded US education research and policy since 2001. It discusses the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, the reorganization of the US education testing industry, and the Common Core standards, which have transformed many once-independent national education organizations into "cargo cult" dependents and promoters of the new order. The research and policy brain trust responsible comprised an alliance of convenience among two "citation cartels" of establishment and reform scholars and politicos, and an astonishingly cooperative and un-skeptical group of journalists.

A 2023 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title, The Malfunction of US Education Policy: Elite Misinformation, Disinformation, and Selfishness, examines the biased and inefficient information dissemination that has degraded US education research and policy since 2001. The book highlights three key disruptions: the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and federal imposition of an idiosyncratic and ineffectual testing program, the "big bang" reorganization of the US education testing industry, and the Common Core standards. Billions of dollars from the federal government and wealthy foundations have transformed many once-independent national education organizations into "cargo cult" dependents and promoters of the new order, intolerant of divergent points of view. The research and policy brain trust responsible comprised an alliance of convenience among two "citation cartels" of establishment and reform scholars and politicos, and an astonishingly cooperative and un-skeptical group of journalists. It succeeded in focusing attention on their work, while diverting attention away from a much larger universe of others' work that included a century's worth of mostly experimental scholarship in the fields of psychology and program evaluation.
