This sort of fraud and undermining has been happening for at least the past 60 years in California. The phonics system has been around since the 16th century until the late 60's because it worked the best. California threw it all away because a tiny cabal of academic standards board members wanted to foist their untested ideas onto pupils. At least one private school system, Challenger, was formed in their wake of absurdity.
