It was a busy news week: We talked with Colin Powell about where school equity fits into the 20th anniversary of his America’s Promise Alliance; we covered the pending court case in Florida that pits the state against parents outraged that their children must pass a year-end test to advance to fourth grade; and Carolyn Phenicie was at the Supreme Court Wednesday for the arguments in a noteworthy case about a Missouri church’s preschool, a state-funded playground program, and a constitutional question of public money going to religious operations. (As Carolyn reports, the justices seem poised to side with the church.)
