"Blackboard Blackmail...is the best book yet written on modern American public education. Mrs. Clark has an uncanny knack for stripping away the mystery surrounding the gap between what our educational leaders seem to promise and what they unfailingly deliver. Her personal story of being sued by the National Education Association for writing a letter to the editor of her local paper is fascinating reading. Mrs. Clark also shares with us the best research on NEA methods and goals that I have yet seen. Every parent should buy this book." --Mary Pride, author and "Queen" of the Homeschool Movement.
