[Squeakland] Alan, Kim, & Squeak in education news again

[Kim Rose]

I want to say that Alan and I were very disappointed with this 
article.  The writer was very taken with the facilities which our non 
profit is hosted and provided space.  Rivero spent more time 
describing that, than our work.  The "secret part" was relevant to 
what he saw in that facility that was *not from* Viewpoints. As this 
community well knows, nothing we do is kept secret.   And, the 
schools, etc. the articles go on to decribe have no relation to our 
work....
