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.

Unfortunately, PBS is too starved for public funds and too ignorant of their own stupidity on education issues to consider that their bowing to the Gates Foundation has put them in the same category as other corporate whore houses like Fox News
