RESTORING THE ANCIENT VERITIES. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni claims a legislative victory in Colorado, where a new law requires the following.

The core curriculum will be more streamlined and rigorous.

Grade inflation will be addressed and grade distributions must be made public.

Education schools will prepare better K-12 teachers.

Students' knowledge and skills will be assessed using meaningful measures.

Disclaimer: the Superintendent is a member of this Council. The devil will be in the details; for example, there are plenty of ways to assess the obvious. Likewise, one mandatory victim studies course in lieu of a plethora of the same is streamlining.
