When we think of states to look to in terms of free markets and the responsibility of personal choices, most of us wouldn’t think of Michigan first, or second.

Michigan’s shiny new status as a right-to-work state is one of the biggest steps towards this new, freer Michigan. It is moving away from its union-tied nanny-state history. What should not be overlooked, though, is what Michigan is doing in education.
