How The 65 Percent Solution Resembles A Da Vinci-Style Movie Plot

The story behind how the 65 percent solution came to dominate this past winter's state legislative sessions is like the plot out of something in the Da Vinci Code, says this article in the May issue of Scholastic Administrator that I wrote:

"A mysterious newcomer appears on the scene. His ideas are met with acclaim, despite uncertainty about his motives or what the impact of his ideas will be. Nearly overnight, his influence spreads. Soon after, a handful of doubters raise concerns. A secret memo is revealed. Just at the brink of success, the newcomer’s efforts are largely thwarted."

I wonder if the movie will bomb like the 65 percent rule seems to have done?
