Diane Ravitch is an indispensable historian of education.  She is a formidable thinker, lucid, independent, informed, and clear about her principles.  Here is a link to a forthcoming piece, documenting the Trumpian design for the demolition of public education and its democratic promises.  Please read it.

Full disclosure:  Diane and I have been friends for many years, but have appreciated our capacities for disagreement.  I fully agree with this piece.
