I wonder if Mr. Obama has any *real* idea.... [View all]

of just how crazy, vapid, trite, ill-informed and DESTRUCTIVE his ideas ( they're actually "Bush" ideas, warmed over) have been over the last 8 years.

Yes... buh-bye, Mr. Duncan.

Yes.... buh-bye NYS Regents Chancellor Tisch ( Yes. She of the billionaire, "CBS" Tisches).

OK: Not unrelatedly:

Nut-case ed "reform" principal ... the one who stacked the teachers' desks and filing cabinets (w/o warning) out on the curb for garbage pickup...

has decided to retire. ( actually she's being forced out. By "reform" hacks higher up the ladder.)

Which is FINE. Really.

But we are left with a series of conundrums that HAVE to be resolved: What was she doing there in the fIrst place?


Can people like Obama, Duncan, Gates, Walmart, et al credibly distance themselves from the ..... ummmm... ..."EXCESSES".... of the numbskulls they've systematically empowered ( e.g. principal Connelly) over the last 8 years?

Lastly: is it REALLY (let's be honest, here; I mean **** REALLY**** honest) a good idea, from a public education perspective to elect someone POTUS who has absolutely NO exposure or experience w. American public education? EVER.

As provider or consumer?

Reallly???????
