They wish to make an example of Dr. Fine in order to scare us all into silence. Don't let them.

That CUNY would even submit to such a request is problematic at best. That a well-respected scholar and researcher would be targeted simply because of opposition to an educational regime that has already created a generation of students who don't even have the basic skills to succeed because the focus is on high-stakes testing rather than educating our populace is criminal.

Whistleblowers and consciousness raisers on key issues impacting our education system need to be supported, not bullied by annoymous cowards,

This is the new McCarthyism and the bullies must be fought as they were in the 1950s.

Michelle Fine has dedicated herself to putting kids forst and insisting on authentic and appropriate education. Too much time is wasted in preparing for and taking these tests which are based on standards that are often age-inappropriate. The lack of instructional time for students is a tragedy. We must do better for our kids!

Thank you, Dr. Michelle Fine, for speaking up and raising awareness of how our country's education 'reforms' are truly affecting our children. I support you in your efforts and your courage to speak out, and pray those who slander and defame will soon be held accountable.

I am outraged by the attacks in print and in video on Michelle fine. This is a seriously misguided and even dangerous attempt to isolate a community leader whose important work is an inspiration.

When corporations attack scholars because they dislike their point of view, it is time to speak up and stand in opposition.

It is the right of engaged citizens to speak up about their concerns with policy, without enduring public slander as a result. I stand in support of Michelle Fine.
