We thank Ned Hamson for sharing this story from #DianeRavitch's blog which was originally published at #TheAtlantic, not normally a place we would frequent.

My Comment —

It marked the incursion of the Defense Industry Model (DIM) into public education policy and it was the first salvo fired by the Destroyers Of Public Education (DOPEs).
