Thanks for taking the time to read the article -- it is pretty dry. Gatto's conclusions about what Inglis wrote would be more appropriately defended if he showing examples of other writers in the field of education using Inglis' words to draw "ominous continuities". Rather, it is Gatto who is drawing these conclusions so, he owns them, and it is fair to ask if they are the results of "innocent construction" or bent to support his preexisting thesis.
