"Public education's commendable aim of creating 'equal opportunity for
all' is too easily subverted by the egregious aim of creating a clean
conscience for the few. If everybody can 'read at grade level," then
we need not be overly concerned if some people get to read fabulous
dividend statements and other people, who may be working twice as
hard, get to read pink slips. All we need hope is that the latter sort
never get to read Marx." -- Garret Keizer, "Getting Schooled: the
Re-education of an American Teacher, " HARPER'S MAGAZINE, September
2011, p. 36.

are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to
reality." -- Albert Einstein
