DOE Disinvites Buster Producer

[brooklynite]

According to WGBH and PBS, the Department of Education has quietly disinvited Carol Greenwald, executive producer of WGBH/PBS' Postcards from Buster, from speaking at a children’s-TV conference the DOE is co-sponsoring with PBS in Baltimore Friday.

PBS COO Wayne Godwin says the noncom service had nothing to do with the move. He also said PBS President Pat Mitchell was planning to send a letter to the "relevant" DOE official asking the department to give "significant consideration" to rescinding the disinvite, though that letter had not yet been sent at press time Wednesday night.

Greenwald's other credits include the Peabody- and Emmy-winning PBS series, Arthur, Between the Lions, Zoom, and Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?

I thought the Ed Secretary wasn't saying the show was "wrong", just that parent's might be troubled. Why then not let an award-winning professional speak?

5. "Our patience ... is at an end"

"Our patience with all those who have not been able to fall in line
is at an end. ... What you are seeing here are the crippled products
of madness, impertinence, and lack of talent. ... I would need
several freight trains to clear our galleries of this rubbish. ...
This will happen soon"

4. Is she any relation to Robert Greenwald?

I don't think they like that name much on the right.
