Title: a harsh wake up call
Product review: This book exposes the absurdity of political correctness and the dangers of permitting it to continue. You will laugh with outrage; you will shake your head in utter disbelief. Diane Ravitch has put together a book that should scare every reader." The Language Police" is very informative. It's well documented and fluid in its arrangement.What has our society been reduced to when you can't refer to a blind person as blind, a woman as a maternal caregiver, or an old person having difficulty running a marathon? Ravitch forces the reader to confront those questions." The Language Police" made me aware that our educational system is failing our children far more than I realized, because a spade is no longer a spade in the textbook world; it's everything else but what it is and has always been, a spade.Please read, especially if you have children. I do, and now I doubt that my wife and I will send our child to public school.
