As with most things 'Forbes' these days, this article is very link baitey. (We need an index for baitness I think, and a unit)

Its also incorrect on a number of facts.

Its also in a school district that isn't your school district (probably) and so outrage is difficult to change into action.

Its also not part of a cluster of such events, or a general rise in incidence of such events and so unlikely to be an indication of a trend.

But the author knows that the book 'Ender's Game' is well regarded by the tech savvy community, as is the author, and so constructing a blog post which implies that a well regarded story is considered 'bad for children' elsewhere in the country, is a great way to pump up the page views in the morning.

I would have so much more respect for these folks if they did research, checked their 'facts', and then put those facts in a bit of context. But of course had they done that in this case, it would have been a non-story and well who is going to click to read that?

Instead of a blatant "it's incorrect on a number of facts", I think it would be more constructive to say what those facts are and why they're incorrect so we can have an intelligent discussion.
