Especially promising, his plan would institute merit pay for teachers in up to 150 school districts, lift the limits on charter schools that exist in some states, and make it easier for schools to fire underperforming teachers. We are encouraged by President Obama’s commitment to the innovative policies he proposed during his campaign and are pleased to see his willingness to challenge teachers’ unions?...

The decision coincides with the recent passage of Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package, potentially making stem cell researchers nationwide eligible for some of the $10.4 billion earmarked for the National Institutes of Health, an unrivaled source of federal funding for biomedical research that gave Harvard researchers $351 million last fiscal year. Until today, federal funding for embryonic research—which...
