My latest entry — The Rule of Law — is up over at the Huffington Post. It’s about the Zuckerberg gift to Newark Schools. Here’s a snippet:

In the end, we shouldn’t do an end around state law. It’s a bad idea in general (which many former Jersey politicians can attest), but it’s a particularly bad idea when it comes to schools because it teaches kids that authority and the rule of law is something to be ignored at worst and winked at at best when you really want something. Worse, when politicians and businessmen conspire to subvert the democratic and legal process, we send a message to kids that if you have enough money, the rules of society do not apply.

Feel free to head over and read the whole thing.
