Here's just the stuff on education that I'm plowing through:
The Feel-Good Curriculum: The Dumbing Down of America's Kids in the Name of Self-Esteem, by Maureen, Ph.D.
Losing Our Language: How Multiculturalism Classroom Instruction Is Undermining Our Children's Ability to Read, Write, and Reason, by Sandra Stotsky
Kill the Messenger: The War on Standardized Testing, by Richard P. Phelps
Smiling Through the Cultural Catastrophe: Toward the Revival of Higher Education, by Jeffrey Peter Hart
I'm also rather obsessed with Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, and I have several books on those fine ladies awaiting me at home. But I'm going to read the education-related books first.
