President Biden has named you
\nthe chair of his \u201cPresidential Commission on Expanding Opportunity and Reducing
\nInequality in America\u201d. Drawing from the course readings and your weekly
\nresponse papers (as well as your outside research), develop a comprehensive
\nplan containing recommendations for the public policies that you recommend be
\nadopted and why. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you decide on the
\napproach\/policies you chose rather than a different approach or set of
\npolicies? Which of your recommended policies are most important and why? What level
\nof government (local, state, or federal) is likely to be the most effective at
\ndesigning and implementing these policies? In what areas might markets or tax
\nincentives or private charity (rather than government policy) be the best
\napproach? What kinds of political changes<\/i>
\nmight need to occur to enable your plan to become a reality?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

While your briefings will provide some of the raw
\nmaterial for your paper, you will need to do more than merely cutting and
\npasting them together.  <\/span>Be sure to make a
\nclear and sustained argument, to support it with evidence, and to draw
\nexplicitly from the course readings<\/u> as well as from at least 6 outside
\nsources<\/u> of which at least 3 must be academic sources<\/u> (journal
\narticles or books).  <\/span>Encyclopedias
\n(especially Wikipedia) are NOT acceptable sources.  <\/span>The papers must contain footnotes or endnotes
\nand a bibliography\u2014in a consistent format of your choosing.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Focus: on the education system in America, what policies can be put in place to ensure equal education to all children? Talk about how other issues play into the education system ex. food insecurity, lack of resources due to financial issues, mental and physcial problems of the child that cannot afford to be fixed, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sources<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

-Books to refer to: Our Kids by Robert D. Putnam, The Governmnet-Citizen Disconnect by Suzanne Mettler, and Inequality in America by Steven M. Caliendo<\/span><\/p>\n
