April 25, 2005Isthmus deserves thanksOut of all the local media, only Isthmus probes for insights into the curriculum and governance of the Madison Metropolitan School District. Isthmus stories on reading, special education, talented and gifted, and board infighting support the best of democratic processes by sparking lively debate necessary to effective public policy decisions. The rest of the media, the MMSD administration, and the majority of the school board condemn healthy discussions as divisive and destructive. Yet, the absence of debate will quietly slide the district deeper and deeper into stagnation. Keep up your excellent reporting, Isthmus. Ed Blume ps.
