Abstract:
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has a reputation as a leader in the area of education research. It is thus puzzling, after almost ninety distinguished years, that Carnegie would now decide to use its good name to advance a political agenda. It is disturbing that the Carnegie Foundation would first distribute a politically explosive and inaccurate press release one week before a general election and then, months later, publish a study which does not back up its own thesis. The Camegie study on school choice seriously undermines the Camegie Foundation’s fine reputation.
