Ms. Ratvitch supported 'reform' not long ago. mzmolly Sep 2012 #24

i'm fully aware of that. HiPointDem Sep 2012 #25

And she has completely turned around and been a vocal opponent for years now. proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #35

Regardless, I find it ironic that anyone who supported mzmolly Sep 2012 #53

What makes you think she lacks tolerance? proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #54

Supporting non-Obama voters, mzmolly Sep 2012 #57

Huh? proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #58

Read the OP mzmolly Sep 2012 #59

You read my assumptions as bullying? mzmolly Sep 2012 #76

more of the same. bye. HiPointDem Sep 2012 #87

What about the students? mzmolly Sep 2012 #88

But Romney supports Rahm on the strike. So do Ryan, Rupert Murdoch, & Giuliani. HiPointDem Sep 2012 #89

Got a quote from Romney mzmolly Sep 2012 #106

You're bashing Obama, and I'm sure Romney/Ryan are pleased. mzmolly Sep 2012 #105

"add funding via RTTT" - to get rttt money districts have to sign on to education deform. it's HiPointDem Sep 2012 #107

Explain. mzmolly Sep 2012 #110

To get RTTT money you have to meet certain conditions, such as: HiPointDem Sep 2012 #111

What you pointed me to was a draft of a proposal from one Trish Brennan Gac. mzmolly Sep 2012 #112

what i showed you in fact describes the conditions, as you acknowledge in your post. HiPointDem Sep 2012 #113

That doesn't mean that you have to create mzmolly Sep 2012 #114

no, you're misinformed. HiPointDem Sep 2012 #115

The distinction is in the words "have to create" mzmolly Sep 2012 #116

False positions? HiPointDem Sep 2012 #119

Charters were exempt from NCLB. mzmolly Sep 2012 #120

Charters were mostly non-existent before NCLB. NCLB was designed to CREATE charters. But HiPointDem Sep 2012 #122

Posting a comparison between NCLB and RTTT for the record. mzmolly Sep 2012 #117

proves my point: HiPointDem Sep 2012 #121

Cheers. mzmolly Sep 2012 #123

Sorry, no... Kelvin Mace Sep 2012 #16

Well, perhaps you can find a less "evil" mzmolly Sep 2012 #60

Gosh, I love how inclusive and tolerant you are being Kelvin Mace Sep 2012 #77

I am not here to express my tolerance for Romney mzmolly Sep 2012 #92

Are you calling me a Romney supporter? Kelvin Mace Sep 2012 #94

Where is the President's so called, televised quote? mzmolly Sep 2012 #23

Right, it was actually his minion, arne duncan, who called superintendent gallo courageous. HiPointDem Sep 2012 #27

An important distinction, mzmolly Sep 2012 #44

I give you the point, but the distinction isn't so important in my eyes. Duncan is Obama's hand- HiPointDem Sep 2012 #46

It's important to me. But what's more important is the mzmolly Sep 2012 #48

i'm sure she cares. but she's not voting for obama -- or romney, who instituted a similar health HiPointDem Sep 2012 #65

No, overturning health care reform mzmolly Sep 2012 #118

I know how she feels. n/t Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #26

I'm mad too but I just can't be a one issue voter proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #33
