On Sunday, March 15, I was invited by the 92nd Street Y, a Manhattan cultural hub that wrestles with big public policy dilemmas and ideas, to participate in a debate on school choice and charter schools. I was joined by Luis Huerta, a Teachers College professor and co-editor of The School Voucher Illusion; Jeff Greenfield was our moderator.

The landmark ruling triggered a slew of changes in admissions policies nationwide. Edward J.
