I previously praised Rob Miller for standing up to Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Education Janet Barresi, who was once a speech pathologist but more recently a dentist.
The parents in Miller’s school decided to boycott the state field tests, and apparently Miller did not do enough to discourage them. The state launched a massive investigation to collect every possible piece of evidence to find him guilty, but they came up empty. It turns out that the parents in Jenks Middle School can think for themselves!
Rob clearly can think for himself too.
Here he reviews Reign of Error, and shows that Dr. Barresi (DDS) and Jeb Bush’s shrinking Chiefs for Change do not scare him!
The parental action in support of Rob Miller was an act analogous to civil resistance. Bravo. Let’s have “More, more here and now”. Large scale parent resistance will put the stake through the heart of “reform”, before life and vitality…and true learning is drawn out of the public schools.
