Bradley Foundation trying to shape school teaching on 911

Milwaukee was not a center for the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but it is strongly tied to a national debate over what to teach students about 9-11

Two prominent voices in that debate - one on the conservative end of the political spectrum, the other more liberal - have Milwaukee ties.

On the conservative side is Hillel Fradkin, who was vice president of the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation from the late 1980s to the late '90s. He now directs the Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World, a program of the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C.

On the liberal side is Bob Peterson, a central figure in Rethinking Schools, a Milwaukee-based education group with a substantial national audience. Peterson teaches fifth-graders at La Escuela Fratney, a Milwaukee Public Schools elementary school in the Riverwest area.
