"Calling Out" the Stalkers of Mathematics Education

(beginning of the article): When the word stalker is used, different images come to mind: a hunter, a shadower, or possibly a person who follows another person with the intent to harm.

This menace to mathematics education has appeared in three guises: the expert who uses position or power in an attempt to denigrate the field; people who use half-truths, fear, and innuendo to try to control public opinion, school boards, and other agencies that work with mathematics education; and, finally, federal agencies that use money to bend state and local school systems to their will.
