An Open Letter to Greg Toppo (USA TODAY)
October 16, 2008

Dear Greg,

A huge round of applause to you for covering the education views of the prospective next POTUS.  Your coverage of education is almost always on point with a keen distinction between rhetoric and reality.  This is why CER once gave you an award for excellence in journalism and has been an avid fan. 

But on your candidate coverage this week, it seems you confuse what the candidates believe with what others expect each candidate to believe and hence, there are a couple of phrases which seem loaded in one direction and not another.  In the interest of fairness, I’d like to point these assumptions out.
