FOIL Dragnet

AFT John notes that this blog and several others (AFT's Let's Get It Right blog, the UFT's Edwize, NYC Educator, and This Week In Education) have all been caught in a Freedom of Information Law net. Apparently, a group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) went to court to get documents from the U.S. Department of Labor and found the bureaucrats were exchanging information with a group called The Center for Union Facts. Included in the documents eventually handed over were citations to all of the above mentioned education blogs.

John wonders whether this means we've all hit the big time. I'm wondering whether Paris Hilton makes her way into any citations, as I've always wanted for people to Google "The Chalkboard" and "Paris Hilton" and find something interesting.
