Oh, the irony! A plea from one think-tank school reformer retweeted by another calling for "constructive engagement" that relies on a partisan push poll as the evidence for his position. I'll be glad to engage constructively when they cut this shit out of their playbook. 
Here's a "shared value" I could get behind, not relying on obvious propaganda to make my argument while claiming to be a good faith partner in pursuing equity in education.
Read and marvel at this rhetorical turd burger: "I am as anti-racist as they come, but I'm worried about a particular flavor of anti-racism because lots of people think it's un-American." How does someone type this with a straight face?
These people have no credibility. When I wrote Why They Can't Write I was very careful to try to rhetorically position my argument in a way that would be ideologically palatable to the AEI/Fordham crowd because I (naively) thought they might recognize the "conservative" strains
But they do not give a shit. They do not want "partners" and their version of anti-racist education is subjugation to the marketplace. I gotta stop now before I get really irritated, but anyone who shares that shitty poll in earnest should be known as a pure hack forevermore.
