In the new War on Public Education, kudos to Joy Allen Holland for having suffered an hour with Less Simpson in her classroom and then having the temerity to say“we need to marshal, meaning "to usher or lead," our efforts, not martial, meaning "be warlike."
Kudos also to the Amarillo Globe-News for publishing Holland’s letter and not “accidentally” cropping off the last line.
Subtract kudos from the newspaper copyeditor who gave Holland’s letter the self-laudatory headline“Bravo to those seeking to improve attainment”
This now brings Holland to plus 2 kudos and the Amarillo Globe-News to only minus 237,824 kudos.
