I wish the supervisors of the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP) at that university’s School of Education had checked with me before they decided Kerr’s views and her blogging were inappropriate for a student in their program. Some of the things said in the Washington Post article piqued my interest and are underlined below:

Victory for Freedom of Speech at Stanford: Student Graduates Despite Ed School Efforts to Revoke Admission, Investigate Private Blog, and Declare Student Unfit for Teaching Here are a few tidbits: Stanford University: Education Program Tries to Keep Outspoken Student from Enrolling, Demands Access to Private Blog Ace it turns out was started by Michele Kerr. At times, one of those fat beer guzzling guys sitting at the corner bar giving everyone a good stare and a talking to about his views on life, sports, and oh yeah, them Muslims out to get us. Not that I have anything against women bloggers, be they right wing or left wing, but for some reason Ace always reminded me of a guy. Many of us who have read Ace of Spades tweets, posts, and various comments have always thought that Ace was a man. Turns out its a woman by the name of Michele Kerr and below you can read more about her. So from there I decided to start digging into the background of Ace, and what I found out was very interesting. Of course none were found on Fox, all I ran across concerning Ace was the usual suspects of Michelle Bachmann and Michelle Malkin commenting about what Ace had said, or how some tweet or post from Ace somehow made their assertions as fact. It also claimed that Ace had been on several Fox News programs, so I started looking for the person who claimed the Ace of Spades nick on Fox News. It mentioned several people work behind the scenes and post on the main website under their respective nicknames. Of course one starts out using available search tools, so I started at their wiki to see what was available. Not too long ago I saw a tweet from the venerable Ace Of Spades HQ about Sandra Fluke.įor some reason I decided after reading this tweet to find out just who Ace of Spades was, or more importantly, who was behind the Ace of Spades HQ tweets.
