The National Education Policy Center has announced their annual Bunkum Awards:

This marks our seventh year of handing out the treasured Bunkums. That’s seven years of honoring the lows and very lows, chosen from among those reports scrutinized by our expert reviewers. It’s an ugly business, akin to being hired to write weekly columns about Congress: there’s no glossing over the dysfunction, so we might as well have fun with it.

“The Bunkum Awards highlight nonsensical, confusing, and disingenuous education reports produced by think tanks. They are given each year by the Think Twice think tank review project to think tank reports judged to have most egregiously undermined informed discussion and sound policy making.”

This is the description given by the National Education Policy Center, University of Colorado of their “awards” program. They just announced their winners for 2011.
