My grandchildren live in Montclair and Michelle Fine is absolutely correct in her views on testing and other so-called reforms!

Freedom of thought and critical challenges of status quo are crucial dimensions of the work of public intellectuals. I wish more professors had the commitment to social justice that Dr. Fine shows through her scholarly work!

Michelle has been an inspiration to me for my whole career. I am appalled at the attacks against her and other vocal critics. This intimidation must stop and I'm proud of the community for standing in solidarity with Michelle. Good luck--we need you all!

We will not stand by and allow corporate interest to drive attacks against the democratic foundation of public education or allow demagoguery of veteran and expert educators whose obligation it is to speak out in response.

These smear tactics have to stop. It's not a crime to raise questions about the privatization of education

Corporate capitalism has no place in education! Scholars and researchers, such as Dr. Fine should be celebrated for their courage to bring learning back into education, and for fighting for social justice.

This is just beyond ridiculous. She is an important scholar and this is nothing more than an unfair attempt to silence people like her who are truly vested in fighting for educational and social equity.

Dr. Fine is an excellent scholar and a deeply committed educator. Her treatment is another symptom of the full-court press to privatize public education.

Michelle Fine is one of the most intelligent, dynamic people I know. She takes risks in the interest of social justice and culturally responsive education. The campaign against her is pure vengeance and must stop. It is petty and insulting to challenge the reputation of such a caring and accomplished person.

I follow the quality of education in Montclair and nationally and I know that Michelle has played a significant role in improving the educational experience for all children. This attack on education professionals is consistent with the attack on public education by the neo-liberal corporate entities that are trying to run our professional lives.

I have followed this outrageous abuse of freedom of speech. Michelle is well within her rights to comment on issues of educational matters as part of the scope of her professional standing. As you can see, I have no problem using my GC address in such matters.

Michelle is an activist and is supporting our community, families, and public education. Malicious attacks against her by hidden cowardly groups should not be tolerated.
