Education

It has taken a willing Democrat to turn over American schools to corporate interests.

If mccain had been president and tried what this administration is doing, it would have gotten nowhere because the Democratic party would have been up in arms. Nothing like "race to the top of the corporate ladder" would have seen the light of day.

We might hope that the Democratic party will get its balls and principles regarding education back, but it ain't going to happen when we have a popular Democratic president who is pushing educational policies that are making the worst of the republicans just plain giddy with pleasure. If you have had anything to do with Educational policy for the last twenty years, you would see what the administration is pushing as the exact proposals of the neocon manifesto. grover norquist called for it. bill bennet tried to get it done under reagan. Both bushes tried it. Now we get it from the man we put in the white house.

There is no defense for the education programs of arne duncan. No Democrat can abide them. Keeping your mouth shut is just a willingness to sacrifice our children on the altar of reagan democrats.
