The Revolt of Rabbi Morris Cohen: Exploring the Passion & Piety of a Modern-Day Pharisee

Rabbi Morris Cohen, a brilliant school psychologist, went on a one-man strike to protest the systematic mislabeling of slow learning pupils as handicapped in order to extract special-education money from the state. Rabbi Cohen’s sense of outrage was exceeded only by his irresistible sense of humor, which makes his disciplinary hearing a hilarious read. He achieved a historic victory by heralding reform of the state’s billion-dollar special education program but lost his job, friends and the love of his family.
