The Unpublished subseries also contains proposals and drafts from 1990 through 1993 of Lytle's unfinished manuscript" Schooling's Revolution," a book length work on how to improve America's education system through privatization, parental choice, and increased technology in the classrooms. Of note in this subseries are the several partial drafts with extensive margin notes and commentary most likely by Milton Friedman.
