Mr. Steidler wrote, sometimes together with Gregory Fossedal, several articles for AdTI related to education and the National Education Association (NEA).

The Lexington Institute's website states:
 * During 1996-97, Paul Steidler, then a senior fellow of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, watched these collaborators in action during weekly meetings at DoEd's offices in Washington, D.C. Mr. Steidler witnessed such strange happenings as an NEA lobbyist berating a career DoEd official for strong charter-school expansion language that had been proposed in President Clinton's school construction bill.
