Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

NOTE: On December 27, 2002, The Vermont Society for the Study of Education (VSSE) sent the following Open Letter to Secretary Rod Paige. Copies were sent to major media and professional organizations. I urge other people to alert their media and professional organizations. Also Congressional representatives. We sent these snail mail. VSSE has classy-looking letterhead and we think the short message packs quite a punch. If you haven't read details of Lyon's outrageous statement, you can see them on my homepage. susan http://www.susanohanian.org Dear Secretary Paige: Speaking at a major policy forum held by the Council for excellence in Government, titled "Evidence-Based Education Forum with Secretary Paige," Reid Lyon, Chief, Child Development and Behavior Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, made the following statement: If there was any piece of legislation that I could pass it would be to blow up colleges of education. We find Reid Lyon's statement to be terribly chilling, entirely unacceptable and clearly irresponsible. We call for his immediate dismissal. Sincerely, Vermont Society for the Study of Education
