Biografía breve
New York Times columnist David Brooks called Diane Ravitch "the nation’s most vocal educational historian."  Writing about education policy for 45 years, she has criticized both left-wing and right-wing activists who try to stifle the study and expression of subjects or views they deem politically incorrect or unworthy for children to learn.

Diane Ravitch is not only an historian's historian, she is a superb prose stylist. I've been a fan of her blog for some time (and I even presume to comment there occasionally), but this is the first of her books I've read. She actually here tells the story, to a large extent, of the last thirteen years of my working life, so the subjectivity of my review may go beyond the normal "I" perspective.

Read first 4 chapters. Then Covid hit. I’m hoping testing will get set back and I don’t need to finish this. But it is very good so if testing comes back full on, I will consider finishing it.
