>you are mistaken if you believe that NBC Nightly News is actually interested in telling the truth. Their story is already written, at least in template form–it’s just a matter of collecting enough video footage to string together to support their pre-defined script. If I had to guess, the template is: constructivist math reformers good/brave/really smart, traditional math supporters bad/provincial/akin to troglodytes.
It’s much more likely that the NBC Nightly News crew will be eager to allow the Interim and Assistant Superintendents to lead them around by the nose like the communist minders did in the old Soviet Union, and as they still do in Cuba and Red China.
As far as letting the truth be told, this blog is about all you have going for you right now.
Reading about this upcoming intrusion by NBC Nightly News makes me wonder if what is really happening is Assistant Superintendent Botsford pulling out the big guns to intimidate and frighten Ridgewoood parents and taxpayers into going back underground with their complaints and dissatisfaction. I can’t think of anything that I would put past her at this point. She really seems like the Manchurian Assistant Superintendent.
I think we should counter by calling the local channel 2 “Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame on You” newscrew to cover the real story, as we all know it to be.
Write to NBC and ask them to cover the math controversy in Ridgewood. Here is their e-mail address:
