Is the Washington Post intelectually dishonest?
This is from Mark Kleimen's blog here

I dont know if any of you saw it, but the Washington Post Education writer Jay Matthews wrote an article that supposedly debunked myths about the "No Child Left Behind" Act. ABC News called it "Highly Informative". Can someone say "BS"?

Many people do not know that the Washington Post's sister company is Kaplan, who stands to make a fortune off of the educational act Bush touted.

So, should the Washington Post be considered a untruthful company?

Just go to his blog to see the rest of the "debunked" debunked story.

Here was the article that Mark Kleimen was referring to: 10 Myths of No Child Left Behind Act

Could you be asking about the working home of Steno Sue?

2. Is the Pope Catholic?
Regarding certain matters, yes, of course it's intellectually dishonest.

3. I posted that article yesterday in LBN,
and asked if educators or DUers who knew something about the field of education agreed. There were only a few responses. Anybody have thoughts after reading the article posted today?
