So, from reading the article, it seems like this policy researcher helped torpedo a positive change that he spent insufficient time researching and attempting to understand. He did this, unknowingly, but nonetheless in service rich people defend their advantages over the needs of poor people. His initial accusations of failure to engage with parents was actually false, by his own admission. The researchers followed an exemplary engagement process that attempted to balance the needs of all stakeholders. But reflexive hand-wringing, marshaled effectively by those who stood to lose a little of their existing advantages, destroyed the work, along with the political capital that would otherwise have made it happen. Is there an expression of remorse anywhere in the article? I didn't see it. Suggestions for how things could be done better are all well and good. But I don't think I'm unreasonable in expecting some contrition from someone who participated in a screw up this gargantuan.
