He should have never been inflicted upon the nation's schools.

I'd be surprised if this resulted in Duncan actually leaving, but I hope that a message will be sent to the Democratic Party leadership that their irresponsible dive toward corporate raiding of public education is having extremely negative results. And teachers vote and are heavily involved in GOTV during elections.

Gee, I thought they were terrorists.

Did you know CA Democrats sent them a cease & desist letter to try to get them to stop calling themselves "Democrats for Education Reform"?

Amazing, how teachers are the crazy ones now and hedge fund assholes like Whitney Tilson are the supposed good guys.

Isn't it amazing how the reformers want to get rid of all the bad teachers - as if most teachers are bad - but yet teachers are still seen by many as heroes. You know what it reminds me of? The view of women as either virgins or whores.

Especially considering how many women teach, that has an added resonance.

It's also union-busting 101: make the workers look bad, create an image of fringe discontents who are just trying to make trouble for the nice little worker bees who are happy.

Their slander of the NEA is pretty audacious though. It's the biggest labor union in the US.

I wonder what it would take to rile them up.

Hopefully it's a start.
