Why does this sound and feel like the McCarthy Era? What year is it anyway?

Why does this all sound like McCarthy Committee tactics all over again? What year is it?

For decades, Michelle Fine has been working to improve public education. How ironic that people who do so much to undermine it are now coming after her.

Dr. Michelle Fine must be a very powerful thinker to put such fear into the hearts of corporate "deformers". Professor Fine is one of the most ethical people I know, with a lifelong dedication to equity in education. She does not deserve to be maligned, especially by people who are not educators and who, though they protest this image, work to privatize education, funded by huge corporations. In whose interests are they working? Though they say it's the students' I don't believe it. If Professor Fine hadn't hit veins of truth, there would not have been this vicious campaign to silence her and to try to use the example to silence others.

Ms. Fine is a brilliant intellectual on a topic that does not receive enough effective scholarly work.

Dr. Michelle Fine has been and continues to be a beacon of light and a leader in the education world. Her work is centered on improving the chances of least engaged students and their families trapped in the US public education system. The attacks on her and her work are malicious and lack integrity.

I just attended a week-long institute at the Public Science Project at CUNY, led by Michelle Fine and her colleagues. She is one of our most steadfast educational scholars.

I'm not sure what is more disturbing - that one's emails are made public record or that they can be used as fodder for slander.

Michelle has been nothing but steadfast in her pursuit of justice for everyone, but especially for youth who are subject to privatized and corporatized systems that serve only to perpetuate themselves rather than serve and honor the youth who populate them. Nowhere is this more true than the education system. Michelle's understanding and commitment to ethics is far deeper than these malicious fools could ever hope to comprehend. Michelle has done more good for countless people and communities than any activist-scholar that I know. I support and admire her and her persistence even in the face of this nonsense!
