That rabbit hole will make you angry, then sad, then hopeless. I live in Chicago, on the South Side. The number of foolish fads in education have been forced on poor children for decades. It is shameful. Children should not be experimented on because their parents could not afford Catholic school or a house in the suburbs. Rich white people enjoy warping the minds of black children far too much. They never experiment with their own children, only ours. It is sickening.

These programs were in place in D97 in Oak Park, a wealthy and predominantly white suburb, too.

I don't see how the DOE promoted this woman's style? It seems like cities and districts independently chose to adopt her methodology.
