Wow. This is huge. We need to turn up the pressure on Obama. Quite frankly.I am finished with Obama because of Duncan's friendship with corporate education deformers. Obama is president. He picked Duncan. Common Core, RtTT, school closings....it is ALL on Obama/Duncan!

(46,179 posts)To speak in support of something, while working against it. In this case, teachers.
To "advocate," to me, would mean more than words. It would mean to propose action, and to act on those proposals.
The Obama administration is not going to dismantle RTTT. RTTT IS a nasty continuation of NCLB. It's also the Obama administration's version of education "reform."
Obama owns it. It's his.

I feel he walked right into most of the NSA issues and basically had to prove to the Military Industrial Complex that he was not going to dismantle it..( Muslim Communist)....However this shit is inexcusable. He could have taken the bull by the horns and smashed this crap into the ground right away...

(3,251 posts)Arne Duncan is the worst, most destructive cabinet member in the history of the United States. Yes, worse than all of those secs of defense and others.
Arne has all of the worst traits and none of the few virtues of American school district administrators: Not only does he operate above the law, he believes he IS the law.
Seriously speaking, he should be impeached.
