I finished the month of August 2025 with 28,066 views on my blog, handily eclipsing the previous number two month (July 2023, 15,446 views); the high remains August 2023, with 48,677 views.
I am off to a fast start again in this month of September 2025, with 5,652 views as of this very day of 6 September; if I should maintain that pace, the result would be very similar to August. And should I start to attain views per month in the 30,000 to 50,000 range, that would increase the impact of what is already a very powerful platform for advancing the K-12 Revolution--- coinciding serendipitously with the production of the second edition of Understanding the Minneapolis Public Schools: Current Condition, Future Prospect and jibing with my Public Comments and other means of advocacy.
I do not at this point have the exact tally of views per geopolitical area for the month of September; the tallies kept do, though, include a 30-day tally, which of today gives the following breakdown
Singapore >>>>> 14,700
Hong Kong >>>>> 8,550
Mexico >>>>> 6,110
United States >>>>> 2,550
United Kingdom >>>>> 294
India
Brazil >>>>> 68
Ireland >>>>> 59
Germany >>>>> 42
Other >>>>> 549
Total 32,996
Note that the figure of 32,996 is even higher than for the month of August that concluded six days ago.
The “other” in the tabulation I know to include such interesting places as Luxembourg, Finland, Albania, Syria, Israel, Turkiye (Turkey), Venezuela, Argentina, Vietnam, and Kenya--- quite a global expanse.
My conjecture, and for me the best-case explanation for the surge of interest in my blog, is the existence of a high information base international readership, from which people hailing from particular locations started referring my blog to others. I further conjecture that among these high information base readers, there are those with a serious interest in public education in the United States who find my research and informed opinions unique. And I certainly hope that I am winning a world-wide cohort to knowledge-intensive, skill-replete education and the training of teachers capable of imparting such an education.
This increasing and substantial viewership is an intriguing counter to the current authoritarian aura that invests the Davis Center that has turned into sycophants even people for whom I formerly had some hope and a few whom I actually held in substantial esteem. In the Davis Center, this has produced eyes that do not meet mine and eliminated any clapping from people in the assembly room after my Public Comments, even from those who come up to me in the shadows saying, effectively,
“You go, guy.”
I am meeting with two or three of those “Go-Guyers” at New Salem next Thursday, young men who have formed an advocacy organization for social change in behalf of African American people; I intend to take them to school and shake them to their foundations as to the nature of their best-selected advocacy and the change that they should seek.
