Gov. Rick Scott's private meeting with Jeb Bush irks parent activists, Democrats

TALLAHASSEE — After failing to show up at the three-day education summit he convened in Clearwater this week, Gov. Rick Scott held a private meeting in Miami on Thursday night to discuss the future of Florida's schools.

The guest list: former Gov. Jeb Bush, state Sen. John Thrasher and state Board of Education Chairman Gary Chartrand.

The dinnertime meeting was cloaked in extraordinary secrecy. Scott's schedule did not list a location other than "Miami, FL," and his chief spokeswoman, Melissa Sellers, couldn't provide any other details.

"This is how education reform gets done in Florida," said Rita Solnet, founder of the advocacy group Parents Across America. "The summit was a façade. The real decisions have always been made by Jeb Bush."

I for one am sick and tired of hearing about the Bush crime family. They need to be gone, never to be spoken about again.

I can think of 3 worst of the worst (maybe 4? of the worst) McGreedy and the NCGA will go down as the absolute worst in NC history...

Sorry about Scott thought, he is bad and the Bush family has absolutely ruined public education Hey, what a great way for the other other Bush to make a load of money, Woot!

I never thought I would look back on W's days in Crawford with nostalgia...

You would think the Republicans would just LOVE Arne Duncan as he is so pro-corporate schools. That's all this is about methinks. Privatizing education so we can all be as dumb as possible.
