I've been on automatic-Delete re Art Burke for the last six months, but 
I thought, what the heck, I'll just check in  to see what's what lately. 
Nothing's changed.

Can any one answer this question: Has Art ever--EVER-- persuaded any one 
on arn-l through his language (trite name-calling: two favorites  
"loony" and "silly"),  logic (ignorance of  facts or manipulation of 
information),  or professional standing/reputation  in the national 
education community (Mr. Anonymity here. No, make that  Mr. 
Gallinaceous.) of his point of view on educational issues?

Art is an ideologue. Like all ideologues, he doesn't/won't  accept any 
information contrary to his worldview. None.  (Has anyone ever changed 
the views of Rush Limbaugh? Ann Coulter?  Pick-your-own-ideologue?)  The 
point? Talking to/responding to ideologues is pointless.  My five cents.

Yours from the Prairie,
