Dumbing down our radio

Charlie Sykes gets a plug from Michelle Malkin:

THANKS, MICHELLE

Michelle Malkin gets an advance peak at "The 50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School" and has some kind words.

"Charles J. Sykes has long been one of my favorite chroniclers of our dumbed-down education and the corrupting effects of the self-esteem movement. I just received his new book, set for release on August 21, titled “50 Rules Kids Won’t Learn in School: Real-World Antidotes to Feel-Good Education.” Witty, acerbic, reality-grounded. It’s a great purchase for college-bound friends/family or parents with school-age kids. "

The book will be officially released in about two weeks.... watch this space for updates and announcements.

An advance peak?

This from the guy who wrote "Dumbing Down Our Schools?"

A rule Sykes forgot: Sometimes, Spell Check ain't enough.  Ya hafta spell your own self.

UPDATE: The spelling's been corrected.
