Michelle Fine has been a colleague, friend, and co-author of min for over 30 years. She is a person of the highest integrity. She has done more to support marginalized and oppressed youth than anyone I know.

The large-scale request of faculty email at public universities is a well known tactic of intimidation engaged in by corporate renegades looking to creatively destroy the last vestiges of the "public" education system. It is a shameful gutter tactic, but it goes to show how critical conscience has risen and put small-minded education profiteers on the run. Fight on Michelle and CUNY!

Anyone who really knows Michelle Fine knows of her absolute integrity, her unrelenting fight for social justice and her uncontrollable wit and humor - all of which were taken out of context and misconstrued in a hack video. At least Michelle Fine stands up for what she believes and does not stand behind 'Anonymous.'

Gathering emails by anonymous FOIA request goes beyond the 'witch hunts' of the 50s, as lots of innocent people are caught in the web of collection.

I wholeheartedly support Michele Fine's criticisms but more than that she, as with all of us, live in a democracy where we revere open opinions and disparage vicious critique.

Dr. Fine has been an admirable and intelligent leader in the ongoing effort to secure a high quality education for all students. Her concern for equity and integrity in public education has been forthright and honest. We need more educators who care about our public schools and students with the conviction and intensity of Dr. Fine.

Michelle is an important theorist, researcher and advocate. The tactics to censor her are not based in logic or argument of fact or theory, but in personal attacks meant to stir fear.

Michelle Fine is one of my heroes. Her work is radical, critical, and utterly creative. She makes the world a better place with her ideas, her courage, and her sense of humor. Leave her alone! But if you continue to wage war on her, be prepared to lose.

We all need to speak up against the testing regime that is infecting our public education system.

This is outrageous. Michelle Fine is one of the most brilliant educators profoundly committed to equity. This attack shows just how corrupt these corporate reformers are.
