[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: [EXT] ppearson at berkeley.edu sent you an Education Week Article.

[Hoffman, James]

I appreciate your following up with your letter David (and your comments inside of the article itself) but this tribute(?) is HORRIBLE. How can Education Week dismiss Ken's work in one paragraph (about 50 years of research) when the only reference is a link  to a horrible article published in Education Week. Ken's career and scholarship was much more than whole language ( that he claimed "found him").  The one thing they got right is "Ken's science is different." . . . certainly different from the "science of reading" that Education Week has taken up as truth. I'm sorry, but I am also deeply disturbed also with how the article speaks about Yetta . . yes, a frequent research collaborator . . but a scholar in her own right and should have been represented as such.

Is this how low people are willing to go to advance a political agenda? Why not engage with real ideas Ken was fighting for throughout his career --AND live on in the work we pursue.

frustrated,  jim
