— Robert D. Skeels (@rdsathene) January 4, 2014M Night Shyamalan is crusading the right-wing, corporate edreform project. He lauds the abject Camino Nuevo Charter Academy Corporation (CNCA) as one of 50 schools that are "successfully" using his method. Those of us who have had to resist CNCA's corporate take-over of our public schools have exposed those charlatans, but don't let facts get in the way of Shyamalan and all the other self-appointed education experts' privatization narrative.
UPDATE
Here are the comments I made on SPCR's site. People might want to do the same and also reach out to Tess Vigeland letting her know the regurgitating Press Releases is NOT journalism.

Reporters used to ask difficult questions of power and privilege, but it's a given that SCPR will just toss Shyamalan softballs. Ask him how many of the "papers, journals and studies" he and his foundation "researched" were actually peer-reviewed, juried works.
At the end of the day Shyamalan is crusading the right-wing, corporate edreform project. Lauding CNCA, which are, as pointed out above, abysmal, as one of 50 schools that are "successfully" using his methods exposes his privatization agenda. Those of us who have had to resist CNCA's corporate take-over of our local public schools have exposed those charlatans, but don't let facts get in the way of Shyamalan and all the other self-appointed education experts' privatization narrative.
Worst thing is these reformers never engage in honest debate because they are not only out of their element, but are easily discredited with facts. Rather than having Ana Ponce—who herself has made a fortune off the corporate edreform project—why not have an academic who could challenge Shyamalan's schtick?
