- True socialist commentary would ask why an authoritarian institution such as a textbook can be turned into an instrument of anarchic learning.

- This is interesting and reminds me of the lame coverage of New York's new governor. I've heard at least three commentators I respect make jokes about blind peoples' increased hearing abilities. It's a stereotype and if such comments were made in association with sex or ethnicity it would be considered completely offensive. Disability seems to be one of the final frontiers of discrimination.

- Since when is an anti-neocon a socialist? From the page: ""Missing from her curriculum vitae are her militant socialism and the fact that she once had to be protected by six policemen from an admiring crowd of 2,000 people in New York after delivering a fiery speech protesting America's entry into World War I. The war, she told her audience, to thunderous applause, was a capitalist ploy to further enslave the workers. As in her lifetime, Helen Keller's public image remains one of an angelic, sexless, deaf-blind woman who is smelling a rose as she holds a Braille book open on her lap.""

- A thorough and thoughtful discussion of inadequacies in our current school books using the iconic Helen Keller as a focus.

- A lot about Helen Keller I didn't know. Also some interesting criticism on how children's books portray social activists in general.

- "Helen Keller was a tireless advocate of the poor and disenfranchised." For more about Helen Keller, read "Lies My Teacher's Told Me"--a terrific book on how we choose wha not to teach students about history.

- I love the lessons we can learn from Helen Keller's life. As a young teen, she was put under the celebrity magnifying glass, stumbled, and as a result was made more aware of how the press could manipulate a story toward the sentimental and maudlin. She became a true radical---and couldn't see or hear. Unbelievable what she could discern.

- I have mixed feelings about this one. Helen Keller was a woman who overcame tremendous hurdles and who did much by example to pave the way for the handicapped. I agree that schools need to be rethought. However, I disagree with her on her more socialist views.

- Rethinking Schools is a great resource beyond the Helen Keller article.
