We Have Been Unblocked By DESE!

Earlier today, we wrote a blog post about the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s blocking of my Twitter page. I sent an email this morning asking why I had been blocked and asked to be unblocked. I received the following response from Commissioner of Education Chris Nicastro at 11:35 a.m.: “I have no idea but will check it out. We welcome your ‘follow.’ ”

It took a few hours, but I’m happy to report that as of 4 p.m. today, my account and the Show-Me Institute’s account, which also was blocked, are now unblocked. Still curious about why I was blocked and wonder if anyone else was.
