Condoleezza Rice has a new position in education. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tapped the former secretary of state last Thursday to take over as chair of the Foundation for Excellence in Education.
“I cannot overstate Dr. Rice’s international and national accomplishments and vast intellect and bold vision she brings to our ambitious work in reform,” said Bush on Rice’s appointment.
Rice, who is currently a professor at Stanford University, already has close ties with the Bush family. She served as secretary of state during the administration of Bush’s brother, George W. Bush, and has served on the board of Jeb Bush's foundation since 2013.
Jeb Bush, who left the foundation at the end of last year, said Rice would be a “strong and compelling voice” for school choice and education reform.
The former secretary of state is no stranger to education reform policies. In 2012 Rice co-chaired the Council on Foreign Relations task force that looked at the impact the quality of education in America has on the country’s national security.
As part of Rice’s report, she advocated for the expansion of Common Core State Standards to include subjects beyond English and mathematics as well as an expansion of charter schools and voucher programs.

but the Strategic Plan shows that it is Common Core.
Give up, Condi.
You have a real education.
Dealing with Jeb will be an exercise in futility.
It would be almost as bad as trying to teach Dorkbama.
Condi joins the Dark Side.
Condi is no friend of conservatives.
Condi Core....
Jeb Bush has made millions from common core. She must want some of that money from the publisher.
