Should have known. I posted the video of him earlier, but just turned it over to the teacher "haters". Ha, been dying to use that word haters.

Should have known all the reformer groups were connecting on this one. And on the CA case as well.

1. That figures. Either that or bad parenting being pushed off on the teachers.

3. 2 years ago, sounds just like he did on the video. Same words, same message.

Unbelievable.

Thanks for posting that. I read your blog regularly, just followed the blog link to twitter and followed you there.

There are some amazing bloggers for education online. I taught 33 years, and I feel like screaming when I see a picture of Arne Duncan or any of the so-called "reformers". This business with Campbell and her failed Iraq war architect hubby has me steaming.

Good to see you here. DU is not especially teacher friendly, but that makes it more important to try to get attention to the harm being done.

4. Reading your interview with Shaun Johnson, noticed the Kyle Olson reference.

Love Shaun Johnson and the Chalk Face. Will listen tomorrow.

Oh wow, Kyle Olson is something else. I remembered an interview of Olson by Glenn Beck in 2011. It was about how we are creating a "left wing" army in schools by teaching social justice. They talk about how the children's book Click Clack Moo is teaching kids about labor unions.

Here's the video: Scary stuff.

Olson says he stopped reading the subversive book when he realized what it was teaching. The cows were organizing.
