Journal Article 1: Proefriedt, W. (2010). Education Reform vs. American History.
Abstract: Current reforms not only damage our students' learning, they arise from a perspective that claims a different purpose for education than was put forth by earlier reformers.

Journal Article 2: Egalite, A. J., Fusarelli, L. D., & Fusarelli, B. C. (2017). Will decentralization affect educational inequity? The Every Student Succeeds Act.
Abstract: In December 2015, President Obama signed the “Every Student Succeeds Act”, which was a long overdue reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. While not removing testing requirements, the legislation dramatically reduces the federal role in shaping education policy, returning significant power to the states to design educational systems as they best see fit. The law places sharp limits on the use of federal executive power over education and has the potential to remove the federal government from oversight and accountability over schools, raising questions about the equity implications of this policy change.
