Affirmative Action for All Our Children: And Why College Education Should Be Free
American public schools are in deep trouble. They are still characterized by ethnic and class segregation, grossly unequal teaching and learning facilities, and governed by mammoth bureaucracies with a plethora of contradictory policies and goals. For many low and medium income students, college is still not an option due to high tuition rates and poor primary school education. Is there any hope?

Affirmative Action for All Our Children: And Why College Education Should Be Free tackles the hard truth and comes up with a compelling answer to solve all of these problems: the Federal Government should completely take over the education system. According to author Alain Corcos, such a takeover needs to include the federal government:

Financing the entire education system from preschool to college
Training teachers and paying their salaries
Building and maintaining school facilities
Developing the best curriculum to prepare all children to face today's world
Providing tuition-free college for students willing to give back by serving their nation in some capacity for two years between the ages of eighteen and twenty
Affirmative Action for All Our Children: And Why College Education Should Be Free lays out a detailed plan that paves the way for US public schools to become the best in the world. However, time is of the essence because any change will take at least two generations to affect the nation.
