Cato Institute on Race to the Top

(Yes, that Cato Institute)
Illegal?
So writes the Brookings Institutions’ Grover J. “Russ” Whitehurst, who asserts that nowhere in the “stimulus” legislation authorizing RTTT does it say that the U.S. Secretary of Education can award money based on states doing things he prescribes. No, the authorizing legislation, according to Whitehurst, says that the money must go to states that have already made significant reform progress.
It's an interesting post.

I had hopes that President Obama would be a progressive President, but so far he's a moderate conservative. Has this country really gone so far to the conservative side of things?
