Despite his war on vouchers that benefit the Black community, the jackass still enjoys a virtually pure Black vote.
The important word in this sham “Race to the Top” is “Race.”

We’ve discussed this nonsense before, haven’t we?
The NEA and the AFT have destroyed el-hi public education in this country. They exist for the benefit of the teachers and the students be damned.
Reminds me of Richard Feynman’s experience when he was appointed to a California textbook review committee. He wrote a chapter about it in SURELY YOU’RE JOKING, MR. FEYNMAN.
Feynman wrote about how he would get so angry when reading the books. “The reason was that the books were so lousy. They were false. They were hurried. They would try to be rigorous, but they would use examples (like automobiles in the street for “sets”) which were almost OK, but in which there were always some subtleties. The definitions weren’t accurate. Everything was a little bit ambiguous — they weren’t smart enough to understand what was meant by “rigor.” They were faking it. They were teaching something they didn’t understand, and which was, in fact, useless, at that time, for the child.”
After Feynman plowed through various books he would go to committee meetings to evaluate and rate the books. Feynman found out that sometimes he was the only one who read the books. In fact a blank book had gotten a high rating by a number of committee members.
