     You answered my question, Gene! 5776

     Many more to you and Diane!

     Did you start the EPAA at ASU? I’ve enjoyed many of the articles over the years, with Noel Wilson’s the best!

     By the way, one more question if you don’t mind. Have you ever come across a refutation/rebuttal to Noel’s dissertation? I’ve been looking and asking if anyone knows of a rebuttal for the last 15 years and have yet to find one. Please let me know if there is one!

     TIA!
     Duane

     Joining with Ira…and wishing you Shana Tova, Diane, with the addition of Tikkun Olam. Thanks Ira, for adding this, particularly in light of the Iran agreement. All good things to my wonderful allies on this very special site.

    La Shannah Tovah to you always.

    La Shanah Tovah to Dr. Ravitch, your loved ones, and all conscientious educational gurus in this website.

    Love is the true universal language. May God bless us with love to understand our true mission = to promote, to preserve, and to protect our own treasure: AUTONOMY PUBLIC EDUCATION for the welfare of all students under the co-operation of teachers, parents, ELECTED members OF BoE within LOCAL CONTROL.

    May love, hope, peace, and health be with all of conscientious people on Earth. May King.
