Thanks for writing this, Jeff. You're spot on with your diagnosis of the problem. ODE and other state agencies have politicized the research process to support their pre-held policy preferences, to disastrous ends. FWIW, I don't think we should criminalize bad research, because defining what is "bad" or fraudulent or misleading research is hard and will be used primarily by the people who have created Oregon's mess to prolong Oregon's mess by prosecuting people, including people who agree with you and me, over research with which the people who run our state disagree.

Thank you for this. I am a mom in southern Oregon. I and a few others are trying to push our school board to do better for our kids. I would love any advice you may have on how we at the local level can facilitate change.
