Rosenthal Drinks the Times' Kool-Aid in TFA Story

Well, that didn't take long.  In today's Times, there is a story by Rosenthal about TFA that has the unmistakable stamp of the Times and their support of ed reform.

Much was left out.  There's a lot that he could have fleshed out by asking parents or teachers or yes, even bloggers.  He did not print any reactions/comments even if had them.

He has a whole "activists' reaction and yet does not quote one single activist.  In fact the ONLY non-TFA supporter he does quote is Betty Patu.  The only parent he quotes is Lauren McGuire.

This article does nothing but support TFA.
