Here is an open letter that David Iseminger, a member of the school board in Lake Stevens and a Microsoft employee, wrote to Duncan about this turn of events. Iseminger is on the board of the Washington State School Directors Association, and active in state and national education advocacy. He works in the Cloud+Enterprise division at Microsoft as a senior content developer for business intelligence.

1. Duncan should have been replaced a ling time ago.

[madfloridian]

2. Amen to that.

3. He should NEVER have been appointed.

SHE should have been:

Linda Darling-Hammond, an adviser to Mr. Obama's campaign and an education professor at Stanford University, whose research and teaching has focused on issues of school restructuring, teacher quality, and educational equity.

4. Why would she have gotten the gig? How much did she bundle at election time?

If you want to play, you have to pay, just ask Wheeler.

5. He shouldn't have been appointed to start with.

Just one more horrible choice.

6. The red flags were there, back at the time.

7. Yes.

Why this multiple betrayal of union workers? Where is the President's staunch defense of the USPS?

Bully pulpit? Only where the TPP is concerned.

My God, what kind of a man did we elect?

[Jefferson23]

8. It's done, why..I don't understand, but it's here. How we get the next Dem to add this to their

campaign platform to turn this around is what worries me, a lot.
