Summary

Education Completion Gaps examines the significant educational disparities affecting LGBTQ students, revealing lower high school and college completion rates compared to their non-LGBTQ peers. The book investigates how factors like social stigma, discrimination, and inadequate institutional support contribute to increased dropout rates and hinder college enrollment and graduation. Notably, LGBTQ students facing bullying and harassment are at higher risk of dropping out, while supportive policies like Gay-Straight Alliances can improve outcomes. 

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from education, sociology, and psychology to explore the complexities of educational equity. It begins by outlining the historical context of discrimination before analyzing current research on dropout rates and college enrollment trends. The book then progresses through an examination of risk factors, a review of institutional policies, and a comparative analysis of college outcomes. 

 
This work is particularly valuable due to its exploration of intersectionality, highlighting how race, class, and gender combine to exacerbate educational disparities within the LGBTQ community. By synthesizing quantitative data from national surveys with qualitative insights from LGBTQ students and educators, the book offers a comprehensive framework for fostering more inclusive and supportive educational environments.

  • NOT Accountable - Rethinking the Constitutionality of Public Employee Unions - cover

    NOT Accountable - Rethinking the...

    "Elected leaders come and go, but public unions just say no." Hiding in plain sight is a fatal defect of modern democracy. Public employee unions have a death grip on the operating machinery of government. Schools can't work, bad cops can't be fired, and politicians sell their souls for union support. With this searing five-point indictment, Philip K. Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. 
 
 
 
Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. Public unions keep it that way by brute political force—harnessing the huge cohort of public employees into a political force dedicated to preventing the reform of government. 
 
 
 
The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls. Public employees have a fiduciary duty to serve the public and should not be allowed to organize politically to harm the public.
