Bio
E-mailA few years ago Tom Luce, who some might remember as H. Ross Perot's attorney or as a major voice in the early days of the nation's education reform movement, gave me a book. It was called Radical Equations - Math Literacy and Civll Rights, written by Robert P. Moses, founder of the Algebra Project and major force in the civil rights protests in Mississippi in the 1960s.
I 've read it several times, and as the title suggests, the book equates math excellence with freedom. In other words, it's civil rights issue.
That stuck with me for years, and resurfaced from the deep recesses of my memory bank when I heard David Hornbeck speak at a breakfast at City Hall.
Hornbeck , an ordained minister, lawyer, former school administrator, spoke compelling of edcuation in theological terms. The former chairman of the CarnegieC orp. task force that issued the groundbreaking Turning Points
