Dr. Louise Mirrer
To the Editor:
I enjoyed and was enlightened by Dr. Louise Mirrer’s article. I did not know about the philosophy of the African Free School 1787 to 1835. This needs to be disseminated to combat prejudice in our society.
Dr. Mirrer’s reiterating the proper model for a classroom philosophy is so important. Teaching all children to be independent citizens is to enable them to choose any profession they want. This means financial freedom and true happiness.

I would want to know if there’s any information about relating this method to teaching special needs students to read music.

Riker’s High
To the Editor:
I arrived here having seen the film about Rikers High and Shawn Johnson’s expression of interest in philosophy and paused to consider whether there is something to act upon. I have included a link to an introduction to a new philosophy system, which people such as Johnson probably did not have, and may be unlikely to come across. http://www.effectuationism.com
