Parent Revolution Creates a “Truth Site” to Debunk Me

Parent Revolution, funded with millions of dollars by the Walton Family Foundation, the Gates Foundation, and he Broad Foundation, has decided to create a “truth site.”
The story says:
“The site’s initial focus will be on attempting to debunk claims made by NYU education historianDiane Ravitch, who earlier this month quasi-apologized for calling Parent Revolution head Ben Austin “loathsome” and on Friday penned another critique of the parent trigger (which as of this
afternoon has already attracted 60+ comments).”
Apparently Ben Austin’s “open letter” to me on Huffington Post didn’t do the job of explaining his views.
