 Information: www.kpfa.org/events    KPFA benefit\n\nDiane Ravitch is one of 
 the great whistleblowers of our time.  The Wall Street Journal calls her 
 our "whistleblower extraordinaire."  \n\nFormerly the U.S. Assistant 
 Secretary of Education, author of the best-selling "The Death and Life of 
 the Great American School System and the now-classic Great School Wars: A 
 History of the New York City Public Schools, Diane Ravitch draws on 
 forty-plus years of research and experience to critique the most popular 
 ideas for restructuring schools. In her new book, Reign of Error, she 
 argues persuasively against those who claim our system is broken, beyond 
 repair, and obsolete, and she makes an impassioned, fully reasoned call to 
 stop the rising "privatization movement" that is draining students and 
 funding from our public schools. She puts forth a chapter-by-chapter 
 breakdown of what can be done to preserve public school education. She 
 discusses in detail how to fix these problems. \n\nDiane Ravitch is 
 Research Professor of Education at New York University and a senior fellow 
 at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Formerly she was Assistant 
 Secretary of Education, prior to being appointed to the National Assessment 
 Governing Board by the Clinton Administration. She blogs for Huffington 
 Post.com and EDWeek.org, and is the author or editor of twenty books. Her 
 articles have appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines. \n \nPhilip 
 Maldari, veteran KPFA Public Affairs Producer, now hosts the Sunday Morning 
 Show.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/08/29/18742346.php
