Fordham Follies

The problem with some folks in the DC school reform world is that they just can't bear to be wrong.  Even if they haven't been in DC all that long.  Yesterday, for example I gently chided the Fordham folks for not having noticed that I, too, had written a response to Emily Bazelon's desegregation piece.  My post (Merge Integration With Accountability -- Or Let It Go) had come out the morning after the Bazelon article.  But the Firefly had curiously not included mine among those it rounded up a few days later.  Hence my simple complaint.  This made Fordham's Liam Julian (pictured) quite angry -- so angry that he seems to have misunderstood completely what I was saying.
