One More Note on My Blog Post about Math

Last week I removed a post from my campaign blog, but not because it was untrue or widely misunderstood. It was true, and there wasn't a lot of room for misunderstanding. I removed it because it was being misused, and to prevent further misuse. You can see my explanation here.

I understand the frustration of the local media and others with my decision to pull the story from my blog and with my refusal to provide additional details to the public. But those decisions stand.

I am satisfied that many parents are awakened to renewed vigilance where their children's math instruction is concerned, which is the most important outcome of all this. And, after conversations with the superintendent about this matter, I am also satisfied that he is addressing the matter appropriately at the administrative level.
