Three pronouncements this week. Three lists of innovators and intellectuals in education. From Forbes, its annual "30 Under 30" list. From the American Enterprise Institute's Rick Hess, "The 2014 RHSU Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings." From Politico's Dylan Byers, a response to Ta-Nehisi Coates's pronouncements about Melissa Harris-Perry and his own list of "America's foremost public intellectuals." There isn't any overlap of who devised these lists or who's on these lists, but damn, I think there's important overlap in how these lists were made and what that process and what the choices reveal.
