Final paragraph of the article cites another academic ICONOCLAST;

One of Saxon’s friends was Jaime Escalante, the math instructor in a Los Angles barrio high school, whose unbelievable success with Hispanic students was portrayed in the movie “Stand and Deliver.” It helped establish his legacy. Saxon supporters have often wished a movie could be made about him. Perhaps then people could see where his heart was, but why he had to use a clenched fist to help America’s children in math education. Then his legacy might also be memorialized.

While it appears that he did not use Mr/Col Saxon's book, Mr Escalante's history showed that his success was attacked by the 'educrats' in his school system. Unionized Academia is essentially socialist by nature, desiring to behead all who stick over others while protecting those who never grow!
