This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build.

Sandy Kress's Place at the Feeding Trough
Thanks to Judy Rabin for finding this piece in the archives of The Texas Observer. It reports on more of the homegrown corruption at the foundation for the psychometric-technological complex that now threatens to swallow up public education. Will miracles from Texas ever cease? More importantly, will the mainstream corporate media ever report on the profiteering and outright thievery underlying the crimes against humanity that are now being committed in the name of educational reform?
