Islam and the Free Market of Privatized Education: “Friending” the Gülen Charter Schools
[Sit back and feast on this cornucopia of “insider-trading” in Indiana Education. Is it just me or is there just an odd linguistic “reality” called forth in this partnership? “Indian(a)” and “Turkey” equals an (immigrant) Pilgrim conquest of the “free market” in education? Which group is instructing which in the use of a fish to fertilize corn? Anyway, as the photo leading this investigative piece…
Studied Corruption
For some weeks (months?) my mind has not been very focused. Rather, perhaps, I do not know how to speak of a right or a wrong when they are so plainly intermixed in our dailiness.

I-Read 3 in Indiana: Intentional Social Segregation?
What can one objectively say when faced with the information that fully one quarter of the 3rd grade students who attend an IPS school failed the state-mandated I-Read 3 exam? WTHR reported exactly that yesterday. Records obtained by Eyewitness News (pdf) show one in four Marion County third graders – nearly 2,500 children – failed the mandatory exam. They get a second chance this summer….
Not My Favorite Book
Updated and revised (4/18, 11:29 a.m.) Another version of “My Favorite Book.” Not My Favorite Book A favorite book? I don’t have one. To be sure, you might ask tomorrow and get a different response. I have favorite authors sometimes, but these too are always flowing in and out of my esteem. Often a work I would locate at the top cascades down to the…
