Parent Trigger Supporters Attack PTA, Compare Schools To Batterers is the title of a post at my other blog, Engaging Parents In School. It’s about an article in a Los Angeles paper where supporters of the “parent trigger” law seemed to really go over the edge.

Many “school reformers” routinely attack teachers unions. Michelle Rhee recently attacked school boards. Now they’re attacking the PTA and comparing schools to batterers.

Self-righteousness might feel good for a short time, but it’s probably not a good long-term plan for being effective — or for engaging in a fruitful public dialogue.
