One of my favorite authors is John Taylor Gatto. An online mailing list study group has been formed to discuss his new book, The Underground History of American Education. I don't have a copy of this book yet and am not sure if I want to buy it, but the website gives the first few chapters of the book and so I'll be reading them and the mailing list to decide if I want to do that. I loved Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
I'm a XHTML/CSS web designer and web host, and a family rights activist living in Northern California. I write novels, news articles, short stories, and more. I'm hooked on weblogs because they combine my two favorite activities: web design and writing. I like using blogger.com because it is easy, fast, fun and free. I'm enjoying the community feature too. Come by and see my weblogs any time!
