	Whose South Is It? Choose "A" or "B"
		Ravitch is professor of history emeritus at the University of California, Riverside.
		The South has won because, like it or not, Norman Ravitch lives in a state which has an attorney general and a labor commissioner, who are African Americans.
		When Norman Ravitch is prepared to put his life on the line, to go to jail for his newly-found "Southern convictions," as we did for ours, we'll listen to his Yankee blather.

	Hoover Institution - News Releases - Hoover Fellow Diane Ravitch Receives John Dewey Education Award
		Ravitch, the Research Professor of Education at New York University, and an outspoken critic of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's stewardship of the New York City public schools, will be honored on May 14 at the UFT's annual spring education conference.
		Ravitch, who was an assistant secretary of education in the administration of President George H.W. Bush and an appointee to the National Assessment Governing Board under President Bill Clinton, joins an impressive list of Dewey Award winners.
		Ravitch has been a friend of the UFT and the AFT since the mid-1970s, when she first became friends with Albert Shanker and Sandra Feldman.

		Ravitch also worries that with widespread use of computers comes the widespread use of standardized testing, multiple-choice tests, and the like.
		Ravitch's presentation is a nice contrast to the opening paper by Gibbon, placing educational technology in a less favorable light than Gibbon does.
		Ravitch also brings up the point about norm-referenced testing, which, today, is gaining popularity with the current proposals for statewide and nationwide testing.

	School Scope
		With the UFT announcement that NYU professor and renowned education writer Diane Ravitch was going to receive the John Dewey Award we did some investigating because of Ravitch’s reputation as a trasher of the American education system and the education establishment.
		The irony here is that Ravitch has laid a number of ills assailing the American educational system at the feet of John Dewey’s progressive ideas of education.
		In her various books and other writings, Ravitch has trashed Dewey as the father of failed reforms, the reason that American schools are so awful (she says).

		Ravitch has a great many publications to her credit.

	Semitic Anti-Christianism - Anti-Semitism and Holocaust
		And if it is evil, or at least radically flawed, then Ravitch and Macoby occupy the higher moral ground and can use their position of moral superiority as a way of flmailing concessions out of what they consider a radically guilty Christendom.
		Ravitch would see that the only real basis for cooperation between Jews and Christians lies in their mutual adherence to their own respective orthodoxies, which have in common a code of behavior based on absolute moral laws.
		In attacking Christianity, Ravitch and Macoby simply give expression to the conventional wisdom of New Class Intellectuals, for whom anti-Catholicism and (with the rise of the Moral Majority) anti-Fundamentalism are acceptable forms of bigotry.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: The Academy, The War And The Historians by Ronald Radosh
		Nothing less than his fear that Ravitch’s words are “an ad hominem attackto silence people who are protesting against the bombing of Afghanistan.” Since to most readers, Ravitch has said nothing of the sort, Singer’s condemnation appears as nothing but bizarre.
		What really upsets him is that the clear-minded Ravitch knows that there is absolutely no equation at all between the terrorist attack of September 11 and the wars of defense fought by the United States.
		Moreover, Diane Ravitch understands that what is called multiculturalism in the academy is a dangerous and divisive ideology, one that encourages people to think of themselves as part of a group to which they belong, rather than as one among other individuals.

	Semitic Anti-Christianism - Anti-Semitism and Holocaust
		Ravitch and Macoby should be aware, is a game that both sides can play.
		Ravitch writes that "a suffering Israel is needed by the Church for its own self-understanding and justification," without giving any indication that a guilt-ridden Christianity is also helpful to Jews like Ravitch and Macoby.
		Because of their anti-Christian bias, both Ravitch and Macoby succumb to a fundamental misreading of the Nazi period and its ideology.

	Debate: Was It a Crime to Have Supported the Dixiecrat Party?
		If HNN gave an award to the historian who had made the most controversial statement of the month, Norman Ravitch undoubtedly would have to be considered a leading contender for December.
		Ravitch, professor of history emeritus at the University of California, Riverside, argued in a recent posting on Conservativenet -- a highly respected "daily electronic newsletter" for scholars and researchers -- that Trent Lott "has a right to remember Thurmond's Dixiecrat past.
		How sad Norman Ravitch is willing to accept on behalf of the Republican Party the label "racist," an epithet otherwise banned from this venue.

		Ravitch focuses upon Simon and Loisy’s scholarship with the express purpose of encouraging us to reflect upon our own possibilities today.
		As Ravitch argues, their experience bequeaths us a cautionary – and depressing – tale about the perils of trying to navigate the between orthodoxy and science.

		Ravitch writes, a California review panel ordered the removal of an illustration of a birthday party because it included a birthday cake, a food item not considered nutritious under state guidelines.

		I am confused by Norman Ravitch’s analogy to the practice of certain French clergy during the Vichy regime.
		The analogy fails on at least two other grounds: Being pro- or anti-Vichy is hardly on the same moral plane as abortion; and as for admitting murderous thugs to Communion, it suffices to say that the clergy who did so were wrong.
		Ravitch’s characterization at face value, why does he assume that only the clergy can “politicize” the Eucharist?

	Friedrich Nietzsche Biography (On the Kahlil Gibran Online website)
		The will to power, despite being at least akin to a psychological theory, has largely been ignored by psychology as a discipline.
		According to Dr. Norman Ravitch, professor of history at U.C. Riverside, "What Spengler, Toynbee, and Nietzsche can teach us is how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, despite superficial differences, were all forged and / or altered by a religious revolution in ancient Iran associated with the name Zoroaster or Zarathustra.
		The central notions of dualism between Good and Evil, Salvation through an Expected Messiah, and the Final Battle between St Michael and Satan animate these world religions and their devotees.

		Moreover, following his own logic, before he quoted Richard Levy so favorably on his behalf in his response he should have stated that he had given Levy, in effect, a rave review in Esau's Tears (xi, n.4).
		Lindemann quotes at length from the letters section of Commentary (April 1998), but once again he is highly selective, omitting to mention that I gave a very detailed point-by-point rebuttal of every ad hominem accusation that he, Norman Ravitch, and Levy made against me while extending my substantive arguments against his book.
		He also ignores David G. Myers's very instructive letter exposing Lindemann's ignorance of and bias against Judaism as well as his highly deceptive style of insinuation.
