Truthiness in Education Award
Thomas B. Fordham Institute
for NEPC Review: The State of State Standards 2006 (Thomas B. Fordham Institute, August 2006)
and for NEPC Review: Trends in Charter School Authorizing (Thomas B. Fordham Institute, May 2006)
The first runner up is the Fordham Institute for two reports: "Trends in Charter School Authorizing" and "The State of State Standards 2006." In each case, Fordham authors collected data, analyzed the data, and then presented conclusions that their own data and analyses flatly contradicted.
