Natalie Criss: Ramblings, Rants & Remedies: Cross-pollination or cross-pollution?
Natalie – never one to mince words – has an interesting essay about a couple of homeschool players’ groups which seem bent on controlling the larger discourse. This directly relates to my earlier blog entry about Annette Jurczak’s project titled Clarity. Natalie writes:
These two groups seem to have formed an alliance befitting a dysfunctional episode of Survivor: Homeschool Island. Why? Good grief, I don’t know. Control? Self-preservation? I don’t think there is a grand scheme in place, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence, either. Again, just my opinion.
I will say this: By giving the floor to one side of a multi-faceted debate and deliberately silencing others, both serve only themselves, risk sacrificing their credibility and are of no use to me.
A number of people have been saying very similar things for a long time.
