Buttars misinterpreted book

I am the author of the book "Education Myths" that Sen. Chris Buttars cites as supporting his views on Brown v. Board of Education and the effects of desegregation. Nothing in my book could be interpreted as opposing the Brown decision or desegregation. In fact, the Brown decision only appears once in the book (on page 204) in a chapter about how school choice contributes to the desirable policy goal of improved school integration. My book clearly embraces the desegregation goals of the Brown decision. I'm afraid that the senator must have my book confused with a different one.
