Flypaper: Agent Provocateur? [Update]
Filed under: Education by Leo Casey @ 10:44 am
There are times when one wonders whether the Fordham Foundation blog, Flypaper, is the work of an agent provocateur designed to discredit conservatives in the world of education.
How else do you explain posts designed to insult the maximum number of educators?
And what do you say when the defeat of France by Nazi Germany in the early stages of World War II is laid at the feet of… teacher unions? Are Checker and the boys in a competition to publish the ultimate reductio absurdum?
UPDATE:
Flypaper responds here.
All we can say, Christina, is that “Checker and the boys” seems like the right form of address for a blog with a culture that is reminiscent of a college fraternity. Of course, there are are one or two female Fordhamites, just as there is the odd female Straussian. They have our sympathy.
