In addition to his work as an outstanding scholar in and professor of the history of psychology, Dr. Benjamin has been one of the most powerful advocates for high school psychology for more than thirty years. He was one of the driving forces behind getting psychology added to the stable of approved courses by ETS/AP and led a number of NSF workshops for high school teachers at College Station in the '80s. His activity books for introductory psychology remain essential for any psych teacher and his drive to keep helping high school psychology teachers (as evident at the recent workshop at Clark) has been unwavering. Regardless of agendas, biases or ideology, Dr. Benjamin's contributions to our field have been enormous, and I hope this does not in any way tarnish his work.

I encourage anyone reading about Dr. Benjamin's principled stand to write him a note of congratulations (and forward a copy to the APA?). As Steve said, Dr. Benjamin has been helping high school psychology teachers for decades and I admire his ethical stance. I hope this is a wake up call for some of the APA board members.
