Since its inception in 1978, Parents and Teachers Against Violence in Education has maintained an archive of critical and hostile mail. A portion of that archive has been available to all visitors at this Web site. The Board of Directors has now decided to remove this material. However, recognizing its scientific and historic value, the Board has determined that access would be offered to certain qualified readers, e.g., researchers and scholars associated with major institutions of learning and established journalists. If you believe you satisfy this criterion, and would like to access the "Critical and Hostile Mail" archive, this is what you must do. Put your request in writing using your professional stationery, not e-mail. You must explain why you wish to see this material, and identify the institution(s) with which you are affiliated. If your request is approved, we'll mail you an unpublished link to the archive. Send your request to PTAVE, Attn: Jordan Riak, P.O. Box 1033, Alamo, CA 94507.
