Teachers' democratic rights under attack in US and another reason authors should be allowed to post anonymously

Quicklink Submitted By John Reed 14 comments

John Reed

This article describes how teachers are increasingly punished for activities, including the expression of political opinions, made on their own time independent from the school or college where they are employed. It demonstrates the fact that large, important segments of the working class are excluded from commentary on the net by banning anonymous posting.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
