Hmm, I  wonder if Dr. Hochstettler has any concerns about the control of that 
 "national education policy" in higher education, something that thus far has 
a  successful history of decentralized autonomy and diversity that has made  
American higher education the envy of the world.

Leaving aside the burning question of what concerns Dr. Hochstettler may  
have, the success of American higher education is precisely  a reason that some 
people advocate vouchers -decentralizing down to  the level of letting parents 
and kids choose their schools would free  public education from forces that 
promote their own interests at the expense of  the interests of parents and 
kids.
