Jeanne Allen and NR go way back. A valued friend of this institution (she’s written numerous times here), she hosted its pre-Covid education podcast, Reality Check, and even toiled on the precursor to NRO. Nice, no?
Sure it is. But more importantly — much more importantly — for three decades Jeanne has been the very valued friend of America’s held-hostage schoolkids, to whose defense she comes, once again, in a new and inspiring book, The Education Avengers: How and Why a New Class of Heroes Is Fighting America’s Biggest Battle.
