In a recent article in Education Week by Jo Boaler, many of us found a lot to object about. Unfortunately current direction in a variety of areas has little to do with objective data but rather focuses on Spin.
Boaler's article can be found here:

Jim Milgrim has a nice response to Jo Boaler's spin.
He put the an article online with all the details and statistics.
It nicely debunks Jo Boaler's claims and assumptions.
