I have been privileged to know Michelle Fine for 40 years as a thoughtful, committed, fierce warrior for educational equity.

I'm appalled. This attack shows the base level the opposition reaches rather than debate sound educational policy.

An attack on Michelle is an attack on all parents and others--inside or outside academia--challenging the so called reforms harming our public schools.

Michelle Fine is one of the most respected scholars in critical psychology and partipatory action research. Her work is very highly regarded and is unique for the way it connects sound academic research to practice and the fight for social justice. Michelle has been an inspiration to many. An attack on her is an attack on the very integrity of the Academy and the idea of justice and equality.

This type of attitude was a main reason I retired early. Support thoughtful teachers and free expression through debate!!

Every child has the right to be educated, and every educator has the right to be supported!

I stand with any and all educators brave enough to speak out against the destruction of public education by corporate interests. Each time you slander and attack one of us, it only serves to grow our numbers and steel our resolve to protect one another, our schools, and the children we serve.

The education system in this country has become big business. They do not have our children's best interests in mind. That is why we are so behind other countries.

This attack on Dr Fine is both unfounded and scurrilous. She is a premier scholar and a highly ethical researcher.

Michelle Fine's criticism of the testing program are insightful. And necessary. The attacks on her are an instance of corporate bullying.

We must defend academic freedom -- without it, attacks like this will continue on those who dare to speak truths that rankle those with economic and political clout.

Dr. Fine should be roundly celebrated for her important work on improving education rather than attacked.

This is an attack on all of us. This is the moment to loudly announce our repudication of this attack, defend Michelle and her work, and do more of the same publically.
