It's Not About the Failure of Catholic Schools: Its About Demographic Transformations; More Assertions Not Backed By Data.
Baker, David P.; Riordan, Cornelius; Greeley, Andrew
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n6 p462-463,478 Feb 1999
Baker and Riordan express disappointment with Father Greeley's sharp comments concerning their September 1998 "Kappan" article. Their major point was that 1990s Catholic schools are no longer educating the disadvantaged, due to changing demographics. Father Greeley's second rebuttal deplores Baker and Riordan's gratuitous scholarship and anti-Catholic school bias. (MLH)
