Obama and education

I believe there should be a national information bank of lesson plans and
units in all content areas. Communities could then use these units as-is or
modify them as they see fit. The units should cover all content areas and
incorporate best practices. Such an initiative would head-off the political
infighting that would inevitably occur if the Dept. of Education were to
impose a national curriculum on the populace; yet it would also allow
districts around the country to quickly and easily adopt an array of units
that would fit their students' needs.

The American Library Association calculates that from 1999-2004, J.K. Rowling was the number four most banned or challenged author in the country. http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bbwlinks/authors19902004.cfm
